Beth Plummer "I am committed to the betterment of this district for all students, not just my own. I enjoy hearing about what students accomplish, especially when overcoming odds that most would consider insurmountable. These stories are what inspire me to continue to serve." District 5	Susan Galindo "It is an honor for me to serve the families of NEISD as a Trustee on the school board. I am very excited about being a part of the best school district in San Antonio and helping plan for the future!" District 3

Sandy Hughey "With my heavy involvement in the PTA Council, I knew that I wanted to continue my commitment to the district. I spend my spare time on education issues and whatever I can do to try to show legislators how to put our children, not politics, first." District 1	Letti Bresnahan "For the last 14 years I have volunteered through our local PTA chapters on the elementary, middle and high school level. Through this commitment, my passion and commitment grew and I felt that a position on the school board was a perfect progression. I am eager to serve the teachers, the students, and the residents of the district. I am motivated to make a strong, positive impact on the future of our students and look forward to seeing the success of students and staff through our support." District 6

Randy Bristow "My goal is to serve the interests of NEISD students, parents, teachers and taxpayers. Furthermore, I will continue to build on our district's reputation for academic excellence." District 4	Brigitte Perkins "I became a member because my last child was graduating from high school, and I hated to see all the volunteer service I had already given to the district simply come to an abrupt end. I continue to serve due to the need for service, and I simply love children and want to be sure they are getting the best!" District 7

Edd White "My reason for running for election to the Board was to assist in the improvement of the quality of education in the district. I enjoy serving on the Board and assisting in the improvement of the quality of education in the district." District 2
