HONORABLE MEMBERS OF THE FRISCO ISD BOARD OF TRUSTEES.
I SENT YOU A LETTER THIS MORNING WITH SOME CONCERNS THAT I HAD ABOUT CONSTITUTIONALLY PROTECTED RELIGIOUS RIGHTS AND RITUALS.
AND BEFORE 3:00 THIS EVENING, I WAS RECEIVING CALLS FROM THE FRISCO ISD BOARD SAYING THAT THEY HAVE RESOLVED ALL OF THESE ISSUES.
THEY HAVE ACCEPTED OUR COMPLAINTS.
I WAS TOLD THAT THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD PASSED THAT INFORMATION ALONG.
THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT GOT INVOLVED, AND WE HAD A SWIFT AND SPEEDY RESOLUTION.
I NEED TO LET YOU KNOW FROM MY HEART HOW THANKFUL AND GRATEFUL I AM AND THE MUSLIM COMMUNITY FOR YOUR ACTIONS, FOR YOUR HASTY ACTIONS IN THIS MATTER.
I ALSO NEED YOU TO KNOW THAT I RETIRED FROM THE MILITARY AFTER 23 YEARS, AND SPECIFICALLY I CHOSE FRISCO FOR MY HOME AFTER RESEARCHING SEVERAL COMMUNITIES AROUND THE COUNTRY AND I TOLD IT FOR THE EXCELLENCE IN THE SCHOOLS.
AND YOU'VE NOT PROVED ME WRONG.
AND I'D LIKE TO THANK MS. MILLER FOR HER ACTION TODAY.
IT WAS OUR STAFF IS INCREDIBLE HERE IN FRISCO ISD AND THE BOARD HAD HAD VERY LITTLE TO DO WITH THE RESOLUTION. SO I'D LIKE TO JUST MAKE SURE THAT OUR STAFF IS ACKNOWLEDGED FOR THE SWIFT ACTION THAT TOOK PLACE TODAY.
SO THANK YOU, MS. MILLER, AND YOUR TEAM FOR TAKING CARE OF OUR COMMUNITY.
AND THAT'S THE ONLY SPEAKER THAT WE HAD SIGN UP TODAY.
