If you live anywhere in AISD,
Arati will be on your ballot!
We don’t have time to mess around with our children’s futures. I will hit the ground running as a PROVEN LEADER who has taught bilingual 4th grade; mobilized hundreds of parent volunteers; got funding for and evaluated college access and pre-engineering programs nationwide; launched two successful businesses; and raised two children in AISD schools. Together, let’s fight for excellent education for every child in AISD, regardless of zip code.
Arati will fight for —
ALL students, regardless of zip code, home language, or race, should have an excellent education in economically and racially diverse schools.

Teachers should be paid fairly and supported so AISD can attract and retain the very best, especially for at-risk students.

Our students are more than test scores. We need to continue investing in social and emotional learning programs and wraparound services that get to the root cause of academic challenges.

There is a huge gap between the coursework students take and workforce needs. I’ll work to create a vibrant workforce, especially in high-need fields like computer science and green technology.
