Community Organizations

DallasKidsFirst

Our mission is to raise community awareness about Dallas ISD issues, focus on putting kids first, and organize voters around great school board candidates. DallasKidsFirst was established to help find, support and elect great DISD school board leaders because we believe that every Dallas kid deserves a great education. We want to engage every voter in Dallas to participate in school board elections. Your vote counts. You can make a difference.

“In District 2, Dallas Kids First believes Marshall has shown a dedication to Dallas ISD and has been intentional in his effort to develop community feedback with his regular “office hours” at District 2 coffee shops…his business acumen has been key in addressing costs and safety factors involved in DISD transportation…and he supported…plans to scale proven and effective strategies in order to reach as many students as quickly as possible.”

Educate Dallas

EducateDallas is a non-partisan general-purpose political committee dedicated to the mission of working to elect high-quality candidates to the Dallas ISD Board of Trustees. Supported by the Dallas Regional Chamber, this group aims to support improvements to the Dallas public education system in order to provide greater opportunities to all Dallas children. The Board of Directors of EducateDallas consists of a diverse group of citizens from across the city who are devoted to the belief that every child deserves a great education.

“Dustin Marshall has already made a difference for our kids. Starting on day one, Dustin has maintained a steadfast focus on doing whatever it takes to create better outcomes for children in Dallas ISD.  His accessibility to his constituents, knowledge on the issues and education policies, as well as his unparalleled passion for education make him an ideal member of the Dallas ISD Board of Trustees.”  
                           – EducateDallas Chairman Terry Conner

The Real Estate Council (TREC)

As the largest and most influential organization of its kind in Texas, TREC represents more than 1,700 individual members and 500 companies, which make up 95 percent of the commercial real estate businesses in North Texas. Because commercial real estate is a vital driver of the Dallas-Fort Worth economy, producing approximately 1/6 of the area’s economic output, TREC wields strong influence in the region.

“In District 2, Dustin Marshall was the standout candidate. Dustin is the ideal candidate to replace now TEA Commissioner Mike Morath on the school board. We are confident he will continue forward with the progress made in the last few years. Using data and proven strategies, he will continue to build opportunities for Dallas students’ success.”

The future of the city’s children — and the prospects for Dallas itself — hangs on whether Dustin Marshall or Lori Kirkpatrick triumphs in the District 2 school trustee race. Kirkpatrick, who would squash much of what Dallas ISD has toiled to put in place, came up just a few votes short Saturday of winning outright. The District 2 seat will be the pivotal swing vote . . . on other hard-won reforms that are paying off for kids in the district. Derailing those efforts would be nothing short of shameful.”
