This was a tough loss. We came out strong in the first game and then had a few serving and passing errors. We played well, but our serving errors really hurt us. It was a competitive match.

We have certain standards that are mandated that students have to reach certain levels of achievement to go on to the next grade.

We have to compete for the best teachers. We don't have enough money to compete very effectively, and so we've got to be creative.

We have to be absolutely vigilant that those children aren't fleeing those schools,

HISD was a choice district long before it became in vogue, ... There are so many options out there.
