    Hello everyone,

    When devastating floods hit Kerr County this summer, members of Kerrville ISD stepped up in ways no one could have imagined. From bus drivers navigating washed-out roads to a superintendent answering a desperate call for help, the story that unfolded is one of courage, compassion, and deep community connection.

    On atpenews.org, we recently featured a powerful account of how Kerrville ISD responded in the face of tragedy. It's a reminder of the vital role educators play not just in schools, but in the lives and safety of the people around them.

    It's a story of loss, but also of leadership. Of hardship, but also hope. We encourage you to read it, reflect on it, and share your own perspective.

    Quick discussion question: Has your school or district ever faced a crisis or emergency? How did the experience shape your school community moving forward?
