A Better Place: Diversity in C-FB ISD

**We apologize for the technical difficulty in sending Focus Points on Friday. Here is the correct version.**

In the Carrollton-Farmers Branch School District, we believe that diversity strengthens the community and enriches the fabric of our society. Respect for the diversity of others is a matter of character. As educators, we instill in our students a respect for others and their differences.

Our staff members in C-FB ISD are innovators. They value creativity, relevance and rigor in learning. They respect and honor the diversity of our families. They impact all aspects of corporate and family life in the six communities C-FB ISD serves. They do not compromise high expectations for themselves or their students. They live the character values of cooperation, integrity, pride, respect, responsibility, service and citizenship. And more importantly, they teach these values to our students.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said, “The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true education.”

The diversity of our community is a jewel for C-FB ISD and makes us a strong community. Our students in C-FB ISD celebrated our diversity on Saturday, January 19 by participating in the Martin Luther King Day Parade in Carrollton. Our students can think intensively and critically and they exhibit true character. I am proud of our students and their commitment to making our community, state and nation a better place for us all.
