Joining school superintendents from the gulf coast area, CCISD Superintendent Dr. Greg Smith recently had the opportunity to testify to the Texas Senate Education Committee on the impacts and continuing needs among CCISD schools and students. Dr. Smith's
recommendations for the committee included the request to do whatever they can to expedite district access to funds from FEMA, that they pursue and support the construction of a coastal spine or barrier to protect not only lives and homes but also the oil and gas industry, and that they take steps to support better coordination with the Red Cross.
