To mark his 40th year in education, Dallas ISD Superintendent Michael Hinojosa (pictured in blue tie) personally greeted dozens of families to welcome them back to school. In addition to thanking the educators and community partners, he praised the parents who are invaluable to their students’ success. “Everyone in our community plays an important role in laying the groundwork for student success in the classroom and beyond, and to each of you, I say thank you,” Hinojosa said. Successfully improving historically underperforming schools and working toward programmatic and instructional equity is a central goal this school year to address racial equity across the district. As part of that effort, Dallas ISD is offering scholarships to expand the number of 3- and 4-year-olds eligible to attend pre-K at no cost.
