CIVIS SERIES: Bryan Parra, Grand Prairie ISD School Board Trustee

Faces of GRAND Prairie, A Community Podcast

My guest today is Bryan Parra. Bryan is a current Grand Prairie ISD School Board Trustee representing Place 2 and an elementary assistant principal in DISD. Bryan grew up on the East Coast but moved to Texas in 2003, graduation from South Grand Prairie in 2005. He went on to get his bachelor’s degree from Texas A&M and his masters in educational leadership from DBU. Bryan is a very involved community leader and volunteer – he works closely with The League of United Latin American Citizens, he is a member of the Grand Prairie Host Lyons Club, and the North Texas Region Omega Delta Phi Alumni Association, among others. Today, Bryan and I talk about not only being a school board trustee but also an administrator during the COVID-19 pandemic. We discuss the importance of kids getting back into school and the obstacles some of these students in our district are facing during online learning, including those in our hispanic community. Bryan is always such a nice person to talk to and I’m glad that even though he’s right in the thick of getting ready for the school year, he had time to talk to me!
