Sarah Weinberg, DISD Trustee, visited with Upper School's Government class this week.
She talked about how public schools are funded, the role of local government in public schools, and how to make change in educational systems. In 2019, Sarah served as chief strategy officer for United to Learn, a nonprofit connecting Dallas ISD schools to resources through public-private partnerships, culminating in the creation of a bold strategic plan to positively impact student math and literacy outcomes in over 50 neighborhood schools.
Within the private school community, The Hockaday School is an independent college-preparatory day school for girls from grades PK–12 located in Dallas, Texas. Students realize their limitless potential through challenging academic curricula, arts, athletics, and extracurricular programs so that they are inspired to lead lives of purpose and impact.
