DISD is considering community service, parenting classes instead of alternative school for troubled students with the hope that this new discipline method will address racial disparities in suspensions, expulsions, and alternative school placements. Can you get behind this? Were you ever threatened to be sent to a "bad boys" school, or were you actually sent to one, and, if so, did it work?    Support the show: http://www.wbap.com/chris-krok/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A North Texas nurse is going above and beyond to make sure her students and their families stay safe and healthy. Veronica De La Torre was already super busy as a registered nurse at a local hospital, but a phone call from a recruiter prompted her to take on even more. "A recruiter didn't know that I'm a chronic asthmatic or that my kids are chronic asthmatics but she told me that kids every year die in the school district from preventable asthma-related causes," Veronica said. "I was flabbergasted. It dwelled on me and the more and more I thought about it, I thought, 'I've got to get in there and help.'" While maintaining her nursing job at the hospital, she is the school nurse at DISD's Young Women's STEAM Academy, an all-girls school that focuses on math and engineering.The campus is also home to special needs students who have chronic health conditions and need special care. It's one of the few DISD schools that provides care for those kinds of students.  Along with the unique challenges of dealing with special education students, a language barrier exists not just for her students but for their families, many of whom only speak Spanish.When covid hit Veronica went even further to ensure her students and their families got the medical care they needed. "When I could hear the angst in my students' voices and they are so worried about it, I'm worried about it too. If your family unit is not safe, then you're not safe and don't feel safe, " Veronica said. "They would tell me things like they went to get tested and they were positive for the coronavirus but they didn't know what to do after that. They were sent home so I actually met several families at local hospitals so they could seek treatment. I met a couple of families here on campus in the parking lot in our car so they could follow me to a hospital so they could get treatment."  For Veronica, it's just another day on the job.  "If I could get them the help they need, that's why I wanted to be a nurse," Veronica said. "It's rewarding to hear them tell you, 'If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have made it,' and I really appreciate it. It's a cultural issue and I'm thrilled to be a part of the solution." We're proud to call Veronica De La Torre this week's KRLD Difference Maker.  If you know someone making a difference in the community send us an email at differencemaker@krld.com.

In this week's episode, it's all about back to school. Food editor Erin Booke reminisces with reporters Sarah Blaskovich and Claire Ballor about what they ate as kids during school. Sarah had the healthy mom who packed veggies and never told her about Oreos, and Claire's rural school didn't even have a cafeteria. Erin was a hot lunch kid, and still craves those steak fingers. At Dallas ISD, the students have all kinds of cool stuff these days, including a chicken finger truck, cooking classes, and more.

Since the pandemic hit in March of 2020, Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins has been capitalizing on the emergency powers afforded to him during the crisis. The County Judge is considered the County's “Chief Executive Officer” for the purposes of signing contracts and executing other matters approved by the Court. Dallas County is the second largest in Texas. After more than a decade of political theater under Jenkins' leadership, Dallas County residents on both sides of the aisle are ripe for change. Billy Clark is the Democratic challenger to Clay Jenkins for the March Primary in 2022. Billy is has three daughters and one son. He has over 20 years of military experience both enlisted and as an officer. Clark is also the Managing Attorney of The Clark Law Firm, PLLC where his practice area includes Criminal Defense, Civil Rights, and Aviation law.Prior to starting his legal career, Clark was a teacher at Klein Forest High School in Houston, Texas. He was the Senior Aerospace Science Instructor for the Junior Air Force ROTC program. After Hurricane Harvey, Clark returned to Dallas County.Billy shared his concerns about the current leadership over the Commissioners Court, the elections office, public health, emergency management, and the recent malfeasance with more than $600,000 in Dallas County Jail inmates' commissary funds stolen. I shared my concerns about Jenkins' attempt to steer CARES money to his buddies, Miguel Solis, a former DISD trustee and current employee of Commit, and his former campaign manager Philip Hiatt Haigh. A bipartisan trio of commissioners thwarted a scheme by Jenkins to use “ZuckBucks” which would have been in direct violation of Texas election law. The Democrat-dominated court voted 3-2 to eliminate Jenkins' plan to use Communities Foundation to funnel money to more of his “favorite folks.”Dallas has an opportunity for change in leadership in 2022. Let's do it. Contact Billy Clark Twitter:  @Clark4DallasCoWebsite: https://www.clarkfordallascounty.com/contactSocial Impact Podcast is on Spotify!

Welcome back to the Denton Insider! Today, we hear from some of our new members as well as Dr. Jamie Wilson, Superintendent of DISD. Dr. Wilson will talk about what's going on in the district and the community.

The passionate debate over students forced to mask up in school has made school board meetings across the country pressure cookers. Del gets a unique perspective from Psychiatrist, mom, and School Board Member, Stefani Reinhold about how to effectively create change within your schools.

Deputy editorials editor Rudy Bush and the UNT System's Paul Corliss talk with Michael Hinojosa, who is in his second tour of duty as the superintendent of one of Texas' largest school districts. When Gov. Greg Abbott prohibited any mask mandates in school, Hinojosa thought nothing of it. Then the Delta variant struck, and the possibility of a failed school year loomed. Find more ‘Dallas Morning News' audio and a special membership offer for listeners at dallasnews.

Hon. Rodney Anderson filling in for Mark Davis while DISD's Hinojosa and Governor Abbott continue to spar over mask mandates See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Students are always told "rules are rules!" But yet in the case of Dallas ISD, that doesn't seem to apply to them. They are now mandating masks, despite the order from Governor Abbott saying otherwise. Chris says the decision should lie with the parents.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, while the Left sells the scariness of "variants" - the actual flu has 189 potential variants and 131 actual variants. Why the IL Governor mandating masks for "tots".

When the first school bells ring across Texas just weeks from now, students, parents, and educators will head back into the pandemic unknown. The Jasons check back in with Dallas ISD Superintendent Dr. Michael Hinojosa. He was on Y'all-itics a year ago when there was so much uncertainty heading into a new school term. It feels like that all over again as he readies his mega-district for the start of the '21-‘22 session. In fact, he'll preside over three different school start dates this year. His district and others are getting creative and sharing ideas with each other. Critics say there isn't much guidance coming from the state, except for orders that schools can't mandate masks or offer a virtual learning option. So, what happens if kids have to quarantine? Flush with federal cash from Covid relief legislation, Dr. Hinojosa says DISD is hiring an army of tutors. The district also plans to self-fund a virtual option if the state doesn't agree to foot the bill for it. Also joining the Jasons for this episode is Texas PTA President Suzi Kennon, with what the state PTA will be doing to help make a tough year easier and what she's hearing from parents across the state. Kennon also gets real---as a mom---and shares her concerns for her own child as kids head back to class at a time when the highly transmissible Delta variant of coronavirus is aggressively spreading across Texas, which continues to struggle with a lackluster vaccination rate. 

Dr. Michael Hinojosa, Superintendent of Dallas ISD, joins his son, Taylor Hinojosa, former W.W. Samuel High School teacher and coach, to share their paths to success, how DISD schools and initiatives make a difference in the community particularly for underserved students, and how our community and local businesses can get involved.And these two educators will dispel some myths about DISD with facts you may not know...If you like our show, please subscribe, give us a 5-star rating, and leave a review about why you love the Love Field Stories podcast.

The Dumas High School class of 2021 ceremony was held at Dumas Demon Stadium on Friday night. Class valedictorian Doe Na gave an emotional speech to the class describing her family's immigration to America as they fled persecution in Burma when she was 7 years old. "For me, being the valedictorian of our class has been an honor to both me and to my family... the illiterate 7 year old me would have never thought I could have achieved something like this. When my family and I first arrived in the United States no one was able to speak, read, or write a word in English. The unfamiliar environment that was America was like a beast looming it's presence over me. Waiting for the most opportune moment to strike and swallow me whole... There were many moments in my life where I felt that life was unfair. As if escaping from persecution wasn't enough, I was faced with many challenges where I wanted to give up."

Sometimes there is definitely a real problem, that some people do not want to admit to.

My journey began with a mother that was a very loving, nurturing and insightful woman. My childhood was filled with joy and enrichment. She shared a lot of her wisdom with me throughout my childhood and gave me all of the tools she felt I needed to become a successful independent woman. I was a member of a synchronized swim team, Girl Scouts, Jr. Red Cross Volunteer; voted Most Popular in High School, Captain of Competitive High School Swim Team, and Varsity cheerleader; traveled outside and throughout the U.S. before 18 years of age. I attended University of Southern California and graduated from Texas Women’s University. I received a Bachelor’s of Science Degree and Master’s degree in Education with a certification in Early Childhood Education, was selected as a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader, voted DISD teacher of the Year and was a recipient of the Golden Apple Award from Hartford Public Schools. I taught kindergarten in DISD for 13 years and 2nd and 5th grade for 2 years in Hartford, Connecticut. I mention these accomplishments because I had a wonderful and loving childhood. Drug addiction does not apply to any particular socio-economic group or status- quo. The disease of addiction robbed me of all the positive things in my life for which I had worked. Instead of prosperity, my addition took me to a place of emotional, spiritual and physical bankruptcy. I used drugs for 10 years. It was not until I reached a place of extreme hopelessness that I realized that jails/institutions were not a part of the vision my mother had for me. This is when I sought help to recover. In June of 2003 I began my journey of long term recovery, a new journey that involved walking a totally different path. This journey involves me helping others. I am currently certified by the State of Texas as a Peer Recovery Support Specialist and have a Masters in Social Work from Texas A&M- Commerce University. I am motivated by my commitment of making a living amends to my mother, who died before I got clean/sober. I know that my dedication to help others would make her proud of me. I began praying for direction and realized that my passion for children was still there. I also discovered a new passion which involved working with women suffering from the same disease that so affected my adult life. Through prayer, my vision became clear. I wanted to give women and children the same hope, comfort and stability that had sustained my growing up. It was with this vision that Hopeful Solutions was born.

Today on the Denton Insider, Denton ISD Superintendent Dr. Jamie Wilson joins us to give the inside scoop on DISD. Tune in to hear how our schools are preparing for the Fall semester.

On episode 23 of Topic: North Texas, Dallas Independent School District (DISD) Superintendent Dr. Michael Hinojosa spoke with us about the launch of Operation Connectivity. As school districts began to close following the COVID-19 outbreak, students shifted to online learning. While DISD was able to provide students with the proper electronic devices, many of them still lacked the ability to connect to the internet. In an attempt to solve the need for broadband connectivity, Dr. Hinojosa launched Operation Connectivity.

As the Chairman of the Board of Trustees for one of the largest school districts in the country, Justin Henry already had a daunting task. When faced with the challenges of COVID-19, and the sudden closing of all public schools, he and his team were suddenly tasked with delivering more than education- they needed to deliver for those suffering with food insecurity, and provide online education when getting online for many is nearly impossible. We sat down with him to see how DISD creatively tackled the challenge and worked with their team at all levels to find answers to all sorts of new questions. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/casuallycrtve/message

  Today’s guest is Ebony Smith aka The Ghetto Guru, world renowned yoga and mindfulness instructor and founder of Yoga N Da Hood (YNDH), a non profit organization dedicated to making wellness accessible to everyone. (in short they teach yoga in the hood) YNDH is one of the fastest growing non profits in Dallas, translating how wellness is implemented across cultural and social economic barriers. Growing up in inner city Dallas, she knew first hand what it means to be at a disadvantage. She then learned the power of thought, and that what you think will truly cultivate the life you live. Ebony is an inspiring example of how yoga can heal and transform your life. She went from getting fired from every job she’d ever had, an alcoholic, misfit;  to traveling the world teaching yoga and mindfulness and inspiring others to be the greatest versions of themselves. From college drop out and pill popper to speaking and teaching at Harvard Medical School, Essence Festival, SXSW, Bali, Canada, Jamaica, and all over the USA. Contracted by Wanderlust, United Way Dallas, Texas Women College, Paul Quinn College, City of Dallas, DISD and other major corporation and institutions to motivate and inspire students, staff, human beings to be the greatest version of themselves. ​From her website Ebony says: I am a soul that continues to flourish through all, I am the flower in the concrete, the bloom in the dead of winter. I am truly your reflection. Changing my thoughts changed my life and continues to everyday in every moment in and out of time. It is a powerful tool for living the greatest version of your life. These tools and strategies are taught, not birth given, allow me the honor of creating a space for growth and well being for you and yours. I hope you enjoy this interview and getting a taste of the enthusism for yoga that turned Ebony’s life around, and continues to be the gift that keeps on giving as her business is growing quickly, meeting the needs of s sorely underserved community. I was honored to meet her and spend this time with her at the Bali SPirit Festival. Take a listen and be ready to be inspired. Enjoy and namaste   Ebony Smith Yoga in da hood   https://www.yogandahood.com/ instagram.com/yoganddahood #theghettoguru

Quineka wouldn't merge the two until she discovered that the understanding of the current African American plight was laced within the stories of African diaspora history.Raised in the Oak Cliff area of Dallas, Quineka attended DISD public schools throughout her traditional schooling and eventually received a bachelor's degree in Journalism from the University of North Texas in Denton.

Justin Henry is running for Trustee in District 9 of DISD. He talks with TC Fleming about his educational beginnings and his thoughts on DISD policy.

Blackburn had sexual relationship with a woman who was fired by DISD. He then sat on an HR panel that reviewed the appropriateness of that firing. That poor judgment is just one of the reasons that D Magazine's city columnist, Eric Celeste, says that Blackburn should be voted out. Eric also talks with Tim and Zac about the Morning News' diss of Brett Shipp and about Tim's trip to Forney, where he hoped to meet Stormy Daniels, the adult film actress who — reportedly — did adult things with Donald Trump. Seventeen stars!

D Magazine columnist Eric Celeste talks to TC Fleming about the big issues facing DISD and the processes and challenges of writing an insider column.

DISD held a major vote on Friday that holds major implications for the district's future. DISD Trustee Miguel Solis returns to talk about the vote.

DISD Parent, Democrat, Kingston supporter, former Lori voter, and now Dustin Marshall voter discusses switching her vote. She explains how she arrived at her decision from about 4:15 to 13:50. Enjoy!

After speaking with DISD incumbent Dustin Marshall in Episode 13, TC Fleming talks with challenger Lori Kirkpatrick.

Miguel Solis, when he was 27, was the youngest trustee ever elected to the DISD board of trustees, and he got a master's degree from Harvard. If that sounds boring, what if I told you that he's married to a physician-athlete superhero, that he knows more about A Tribe Called Quest than you do, and that he has a good argument for why you should pay more taxes to make Dallas an even better place? Give us five stars in iTunes or we will kill you. Thanks.

On this episode, Anthony is joined by DISD educator Ro Ballard and advocate/entrepreneur Eraina Ferguson as they discuss: self value/worth, the importance of loving/finding yourself, and how women can have it all when it comes to a career and family.

As the year draws to a close, Dora Rivas joins us to look back and reflect—not just on 2015, but a half century of service as a dietitian and school food service director. Last August, when she left her post as Executive Director of food service for Dallas ISD, Dora was an iconic figure in K-12 nutrition, recognized nationally as an early adopter of well-defined public health goals for schools. But her story is about private goals, too, and their roots in family and a career launched in a South Texas migrant health clinic.     “Dora Rivas is on an insatiable quest to improve the nutrition in Dallas’ public schools,” Dallas Observer, June 26, 2014 “My Interview with Dora Rivas, Former President of the School Nutrition Association,” The Lunch Tray, June 13, 2014 “DISD school lunches reviewed: Restaurant critic Leslie Brenner goes back to school,” Guidelive.com, August 19, 2015 Related Inside School Food episode: “The Urban School Food Alliance Travels to France,” November 3, 2014
