Message from Superintendent Dr. Steve Flores: Commitment to Equity

Message from Superintendent Dr. Steve Flores: Commitment to Equity

Jun 1, 2020

This has been a difficult week for our country and our community. For months now, we have been gravely concerned about a disease that has literally taken the breath from its victims and our focus has been almost solely on keeping ourselves, our families and our communities safe from its spread. But this past week, the words “I can’t breathe” are a haunting reminder that, in our country, evil, hate and a legacy of systemic racism continue to plague our communities of color and, specifically, African Americans. As Superintendent of Round Rock ISD, I want our community to know that  we are committed to addressing this painful issue head-on in our District and on our campuses.

Turning a massive, traditional education system “on a dime,” so to speak, into a virtual environment has been challenging and complicated, particularly as we worked to ensure all of our students had access to the tools they needed to continue learning. There are no words to adequately express my gratitude for your patience and support and to our dedicated educators, administrators and operations staff who worked day and night to support students.We are all ready to turn the page on 2019-2020, but we also know we still face an uncertain future. With that in mind, I want to share with you our plans for the summer and how we are working to design the 2020-2021 school year.
