With an exceptionally short production time frame, your team was able to create an entertaining and professional-quality video using no external resources.
The video has been an overwhelming success, and we receive requests for it daily. Thanks for an outstanding job! Business Technology Maryanne Coelln - Sr. He makes you feel very relaxed and will create a production that you can be proud of.
His video production with The Good Contractors List couldn't be matched. Originally, I went to Chris with a song and a basic idea for a music video. The finished product won a Telly award and became one of the most requested training videos in company history. I truly can't come close to describing how much Chris brought to this project and to how successful it was.
He is a true professional and a pleasure to work with. After the petition was certified, the school board appointed a home rule commission.
They would have enough votes on the DISD board to get that passed. On June 19 , the board of trustees unanimously approved a home rule commission. Racially and ethnically, the 15 -member commission is one-third white, one-third Latino, and one-third Black.
By this measure, the commission still falls short on representation of Latinos. Last, many on the commission are Dallas elites and district insiders: At least two are former high-level district officials, one is a former North Dallas school board member, one is the husband of a former school board member, and another a son of a school board member. To what extent such a skewed commission will affect its initial ballot proposal will only become clear in the coming months. Local critics argued such haste would almost certainly mean a draft of the proposal had been written before the commission had even convened, given the time the proposal would need afterwards to be reviewed by the Texas Secretary of State, the US Department of Justice f or clearance under the Voting Rights Act, and finally the Texas Commissioner of Education.
None except Edwin Flores, the commission member appointed by Mike Morath, publicly supported drafting a proposal by the November deadline. As commissioner Lew Blackburn Jr. With the filing deadline of August 18 past, the commission has a year to draft a proposal, which would then go on the November ballot.
Recently elected board member Joyce Foreman thinks that community opposition to SOPS is what convinced the commission to take their time drafting a proposal. The poor black communities of East Oak Cliff and South Dallas lie near the downtown financial district.
In these poor neighborhoods, local public schools are some of the few sites left in which communities can organize and foster a collective sense of identity. By closing down schools and busing kids into consolidated charter schools, which have a financial incentive to maximize student population while minimizing student services, such community hubs would be lost, giving residents little incentive to stay. The home rule campaign, then, is not just a fight about school control; it is a struggle over who will have a say in the future of Dallas.
Are you sick? Or what? The stakes of her election could not have been higher. The business community moved fast. In a phone interview, Foreman held little back. But what Foreman lacked in funding, she made up in organizing and community respect. This was rolled out against the people, they remember fighting for single member districts, so they want to have people they elect.
Foreman also calls out SOPS for its attempts for its superficial attempts at appeasing communities of color. Foreman and her community allies have their work cut out for them in the months ahead.
