Elect Weldon Dietze NISD School Board

Congratulations to Rene Rehfeld and Clint Scheib on their NISD re-election and a huge thanks to all the voters who supported me! The board will likely be filling the two remaining vacancies by appointment and I hope they acknowledge the large amount of support shown by you all when they do, as I remain willing to serve. Thanks again and best wishes to the current board as it sits; Go Panthers!

TENURE vs LEADERSHIP

While there has been some discussion about the tenure on our current school board, I’m here to remind you that tenure does not necessarily equate to leadership. Look at the handling of our own school staff: Did you know that 6 high profile positions within our school district were all filled from outside of our very experienced staff? From our Superintendent, CEO, down to the newly created communications officer; they all came from different communities. These actions and setting such a precedent is stifling to the growth of all our existing employees. Our school district remains highly ranked, but that is a result of our tremendous staff, they have been our boots on the ground for years; these are the people you should look to and that deserve to be promoted from within. Someone with tenure may look for the best resume, but a true leader looks even deeper. The school board sets those hiring expectations and from the last six months it is clear they do not care much for the rank and file of our existing employees. You can vote for the same candidate up to 3 times, vote DIETZE DIETZE DIETZE

WHAT SETS ME APART FROM MY OPPONENTS

My kids attend the schools at Navarro ISD, and will continue to do so for the next seven (7) years; I have skin in the game! My engagement and involvement will be second to no other candidate running for this seat. I am connected to the future of Navarro. Vote for a Navarro parent! Vote for Dietze!

HOW I PLAN TO FACE OUR DISTRICT UPCOMING CHALLENGES

Our district is experiencing growth that we have never seen before; change is coming. This change, and how it is managed, will be the biggest challenge facing the winners of the three open seats. I have a real estate background and have been a licensed real estate agent and broker for 14 years. I am prepared to put that knowledge to work for the district. There will continue to be new developments in our area as infrastructure is completed and we need to know how that will affect the school district initially, and for decades to come.

WHY I AM RUNNING FOR SCHOOL BOARD!

With two of my own children coming up through Navarro ISD I felt it was important to get involved. The school district has a great reputation that I feel could be jeopardized without engaged leadership at the top. As I began to look into our current board of trustees I was surprised with the number of members who no longer have kids in the district. While I appreciate their time served, and their continued willingness to serve, I believe it is time for new faces and new ideas. My schedule allows me to put in the time, so I chose to step up and assume the role, if elected.
