I met with 29 financial institutions.

While the spotlight has been on our signature parks, we can’t forget about our local, neighborhood parks and how much they mean to people who live in local, communities. That is why today I am hoping that someone will make a generous, sizeable donation targeting our neighborhood parks in underserved communities.

Quality schools are another component of complete communities. Last week, I asked HISD to stand-down from submitting an improvement plan to the Texas Education Agency by yesterday’s deadline. I have asked the commissioner of education to grant HISD a one-year waiver to give it time to find the best solution for our children.

Considering Hurricane Harvey’s impact on our students and campuses, this is not the time to add to the stress of students, parents, teachers and other served by HISD.

I am committing myself to a leadership role to find and execute the best path forward. By working together, we can develop a viable model with the singular goal of moving all schools up from the “Improvement Required” rating.

In order for this city to attract businesses from around the globe, our independent school districts must offer a high quality of education. The state’s failure to address school finance reform and the failure of past superintendents and board of trustees to improve neighborhood schools have done a disservice to thousands of our children. I will explore a model that takes responsibility for low-performing schools similar to what was done by the mayor in LA ten years ago.

Many people ask me, “How did Harvey change us?” I would argue that Harvey didn’t change us. It showed the world who we are.

We are each other’s keepers.

We get in boats and rescue on another.

We feed and clothe one another without a second thought.

We help each other to remediate and to rebuild.

We are very resilient people working to build a more resilient city we call Houston.
