It's been a month since my last comments and here we are again. I must say I am impressed that you would stand up to the majority of the board on this issue.
Residency is outdated and not necessary. All you are doing is restricting the school district to people who are willing to move. I know people in the district who are qualified and would do a great job on that level, however they don't want to move to DISD. Not because they don't want to support the kids or the district but it is a huge commitment to move your kids and family over a job.
I do agree with Allen that instead of granting waivers and such, someone have the guts to just propose removing the policy all together. (yes I know you voted against it, but you sit in the board briefings and have heard the others feelings).
