In support of our Asian American and Pacific Islander Communities

Dear Round Rock ISD Family,

In Round Rock ISD, we deeply value the beautiful diversity of our community. We are committed to creating and nurturing an inclusive environment where all forms of cultural diversity are valued, and equity is embedded into every facet of our operations. What we absolutely will not tolerate are racist, hateful, divisive comments and actions.

Round Rock ISD leaders, including the executive leadership team and members of the Board of Trustees, were appalled when we learned of threatening and racist comments posted on Trustee Jun Xiao’s FaceBook page. Dr. Xiao dedicates countless volunteer hours in service to Round Rock ISD as an elected Trustee. There is no place for such hateful comments and ideas in our community, and, as a District, we vehemently condemn them.

We support Trustee Cory Vessa’s objective to create a resolution for adoption by the entire Board of Trustees memorializing our support of our Asian American and Pacific Islander communities and condemning all forms of hate speech.

Respectfully,
Dr. Daniel Presley,
Acting Superintendent of Schools
