MESSAGE FROM ACTING SUPERINTENDENT DIANA SAYAVEDRA

To the Fort Bend ISD Community As Fort Bend ISD’s Acting Superintendent, my goal is to provide stability and support to all District stakeholders. I value our partnership and remain available to students, parents, our campus leaders, District administrators, and Board of Trustees. Whether it is your first day in our school district or you are ending your time with us in Fort Bend ISD, your feedback is important in guiding us and I welcome conversations with parents, teachers, and students.    I have a long history in the District, serving as principal at Elkins High School and Sugar Land Middle School, an assistant principal at Dulles High School, and a teacher at Hodges Bend Middle School years ago.    As an educator and transformational leader, I believe education is the opportunity equalizer and I have a steadfast commitment to ensuring all students have access to a high quality, equitable education.
