Sanger ISD’s director of student intervention, Ann Hughes, works with students in the “gotta move” classroom at Chisholm Trail Elementary School, Tuesday, March 8, 2022, in Sanger. Sanger Independent School District has taken a holistic approach, beefing up its own resources and partnering with the community, creating one of the best-resourced districts in Texas.
They are not merely problems to Hughes. They are people. She has tirelessly applied for grants and nonprofit assistance that have helped fund personnel and resources the children need but the state won’t pay for. Through a grant from the faith-based nonprofit Texas Health Resources, three Sanger schools now have rooms where children can, for instance, jump on a trampoline to get out their anger or energy in a nondisruptive way, or alternatively, just enjoy some quiet time playing with blocks.
Spoken like a champion. Unfortunately, we don’t have an infinite supply of champions. And even champions can run much farther, much quicker, helping many more kids, without a bunch of unnecessary obstacles in their paths. So it’s unfortunate that the Republican Party of Texas’ 2020 platform calls for the abolition of the consortium. In a statement, party chairman Matt Rinaldi said: “We believe the parents should decide if their child needs mental health services, not the schools. These bills are a thinly veiled state intrusion into Texans' personal decisions, parental rights, and sincerely held religious beliefs.
