Pros

Has a servants heart.
Claims that board is rubber stamping whatever Supt wishes.
Feels too much time spent on tests and not basics.
Feels teacher's salaries in range of $50-$60K should be closer to $70k on high end but not Abbotts $100K(unrealistic).
Believes some trained teachers and support staff should be able to possess firearms in school
Favors allowing properly trained school staff to carry firearms
Voted in the 2018 Republican Primary

Cons

Not that well prepared or knowledgeable about the position(during interview). Doesn't appear to be ready for a position like this.
No college degree.
Not familiar w/IB(International Baccalaueriate), a UN program.
Didn't know what the capacity ratio for a district was (120%) to consider building a new school.
While she knew how much was in the bank for emergencies ($165K), she didn't know what bond indebtedness is(over $1 billion)
Said too much spent on "Support" (rather than teachers) though not sure how much.
Said student-to-teacher ratio was too high but didn't know how much
Only attended 1 CISD meeting after deciding to run for office
Wants ISD funding to be 100% local
very laid back – not a leader
