Wear trade shirts on days instead of always wearing college shirts. Have career days instead of just college days. Maybe some local companies (trades) would be willing to donate some shirts for teachers or students to wear.

Subs are not prepared on how to deal with behavior problems in the classroom. They are also not trained on school expectations.

We are unprepared for the BOOM in special education. We have a growing special population and do not have the staff to support the teachers or the students.

There is a disconnect between the bilingual programs at SJE and LES.

# data[].attributes.body
There are too many students and not enough teachers - gen ed and special ed - sped students make up the majority of some classes.

We have a TON of Panther Pride this year and it shows with the social media posts.

Students feel loved, valued and special.

I feel like the district could be more transparent with the community. ie. purchasing new facilities should be more publicized.

Our partnership with Lee and the opportunities our high school students have to obtain certificates and even college level classes.

We lose potentially great employees because the don't feel supported. When they are struggling and ask for help they are often met with, there is no one to come and help. We don't have enough staff to allow someone to come in and spend time observing.

Tattoo and earring policy. Several districts in our area have done away with these polices. Most students are accustomed to seeing these things regularly. Most staff feel this policy is more of a personal feeling towards tattoo and not necessarily a professional one. There should be some common sense and discretion with displaying them.

We need additional space for Pre-K. Our classe sizes have grown immensely in the past few years and we could better serve our students if we had more classrooms.

More training and guidance for new teachers, especially in the elementary grades.

# data[].attributes.body
Properly training new employees. New teachers are not given any guidance or training prior to the students coming in. Once the students start the teachers are expected to figure it out as they go. This often creates a very stressful and overwhelming situation. They need a list of what all is required in a classroom. What materials, anchor charts, classroom management systems etc. that can be used in a class. Most new employees don't ask for a lot of help because they often don't know what they should be asking.

Our district does a great job of keeping the community and staff informed. Whether it is through Remind, FB or email.

Not necessarily educated related, but childcare for district employees is a growing trend. I know secondary students are seeking community service hours would benefit from this, too. At a previous district, they had a director, teachers and student teachers that came in for hours/student teaching. It would open employment opportunities in the community, too.

I believe we need some facility upgrades. An additional gym would be wonderful for the growing numbers in athletics.

Our administration makes you want to be apart of LISD. We work as a team and go out of our way to make a difference even if it is just for one student.

I think we keep the community informed with alot of information. I've seen districts get behind the ball on events or situations.

We have opportunities I believe to upgrade some of our facilities such as possibly adding another basketball gym at the high school.

At this time I would have to say the need for more teachers at our HS campus.

Liberty ISD is doing a great job of sharing the great things that are going on at our schools via social media.

Vertical aligning for elementary between SJE and LES, and grade levels.

We lack quality professional development opportunities. I think making this a priority will help grow everyone. (Not sending one teacher and expecting them to relay all the information without the teacher experiencing it for herself/himself)

Our community involvement and support

# data[].attributes.body
Our Secondary Newcomers program needs improving. Each year we are receiving more and more students who come with little to no English Language. I feel they are currently just "thrown to the wolves" with the hope they will grasp on quickly. This also places a huge burden on our bilingual students. They are asked to assist the teacher by translating on a daily basis for these students.

Properly training people for new roles or positions. I think often times new staff are just expected to "learn as they go" vs. having the departing staff train the new staff about their role and how to best do the job at hand.

Liberty supports students who are interested in trade careers that might not be on track for college.

As a district we are completely unprepared for the realignment of the Science TEKS that will be implemented K-12 next school year 24-25.

Our district supports and loves athletics. It creates a sense of a small-town community that will stick together.

The student population is growing at the HS campus, and the teacher numbers are not growing with it.
