One woman (or man) can make a difference

We included a blog post "Alvord Mother Proves We Can Keep ISDs Accountable” about Tracy Lodes, a mother in Alvord ISD who knew things weren’t right in her school district. She started asking questions and requesting documents and ended up banned from her daughter’s elementary school campus.

We received a comment to the online post: “This is crazy! I can't believe nobody was keeping track on this school system. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.” Well, friends, someone was keeping track – that mother who wasn’t going to let the superintendent bully her. That superintendent has stepped down, thanks to Tracy’s tenacity. It just takes one committed person to make a difference.
