Welcome

The Fast Growth Schools Coalition (FGSC) is an organization of school districts interested in finding legislative solutions that help districts cope with the financial and structural demands of their rapidly expanding populations.

From the Chair

As Chair of the Fast Growth School Coalition and Superintendent of Frenship Independent School District I would like to welcome you to the Fast Growth School Coalition website. The indentified 102 fast growth schools across the great State of Texas are doing a terrific job of managing our state’s incredible growth. While we are working hard to continue to provide a quality education to our students, we are presented with great and unique challenges ranging from building new facilities, to hiring more staff to meet the growth, to managing increased cost for academic resources.

The purpose of the FGSC is to bring together superintendents from similar districts to establish a shared agenda and provide a voice for that agenda. Through working with David Thompson of Thompson and Horton LLP, Dan Casey of Moak Casey and Associates, and David Anderson of HillCo Partners, the FGSC is effectively educating our legislators to help them make sound decisions related to our needs.

If you are a prospective member district or interested in being a “Friend of FGSC” I would like to encourage you to join our team and provide your voice and insight. If you are a prospective corporate partner, please know that not only do we value your financial support of our organization, but we value your voice and insight as well in helping us develop a shared agenda. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me or our Executive Director, Michelle Smith. Once again welcome and thanks for your support and interest.

Sincerely,

David Vroonland, Ed.D.
Superintendent of Schools, Frenship Independent School District
