Grand Prairie ISD partners up with AVID, a company working on implementing the Common Core Standards and the Marxist progressive teaching philosophy built on the collective. In 2011 staff from Grand Prairie ISD went to Florida to present at the 2011 AVID National Conference. The 2013 AVID conference was held in Grand Prairie, Texas.
It stands to reason that the school district does not inform parents or the community that their tax dollars are funding the demise of their children and grand children’s education.
Grand Prairie ISD also hires individuals that are not qualified teachers to facilitate and tutor students with the AVID curriculum, here is the tutors job description.
AVID and the Federal Government work together in implementing the program for low income students. It has everything to do with equity and nothing to do with opportunity.
