Matthew Anderson

My Commitment to TISD

My name is Matthew Anderson, and I am running for the TISD 7th District At-Large School Board seat. My family and I attend Church on the Rock. As the father of a 6th grader at TMS and the husband of a school counselor, I have a deep, personal investment in our school system.

I believe the best way to improve our community is through our kids. They are our most valuable resource. We have to provide them with the opportunities they deserve, and the most effective way to support our kids is by ensuring our teachers are fully equipped with exactly what they need to help them thrive.

Professionally, I am an MRP/ERP systems specialist with a decade of experience in project and resource management. I specialize in analyzing and tweaking systems and processes to make them run efficiently. As a property taxpayer, I understand how critical it is to apply those same principles to our district. I plan to bring an analytical mindset and treat every dollar the school board spends as if it were my own tax dollars—because they are.

If you elect me to the school board:

• I will ensure we are responsible stewards of your property tax dollars by guiding the optimization of our district's systems and processes.
• I will prioritize creating real opportunities for our kids to succeed in this rapidly changing world.
• I will support our educators by providing them with the specific tools and resources they need.

By spending wisely, creating opportunities for our kids, and supporting our educators, we will build a better Texarkana. I would be honored to serve you.
