​Meet Paige
​​
​
​Paige Dixon is not just a candidate—she is a proven advocate who has already fought hard for this district. Long before running for office, Paige stood up for students and families to ensure equitable representation, fair access, and a seat at the table. She believes leadership means listening first, acting with integrity, and being accountable to the people you serve.
As a mother of two children who have attended Title I schools within the district, Paige intimately understands the unique challenges and barriers that many families face. These experiences have shaped her commitment to ensuring that every child—regardless of zip code—has the resources, support, and opportunities needed to thrive.
Paige is a leader who believes communication builds trust. She is committed to keeping families informed and engaged, ensuring that constituents are never the last to know what is happening in their schools or district. Decisions should not be discovered through headlines—they should be shared transparently with the community first.
With a background in advocacy, service, and leadership—including service in the U.S. Army, PTA leadership, and district advisory committees—Paige brings both experience and heart to the role. Her number one goal is simple and steadfast: to help every child receive a quality education that unlocks their full potential and prepares them to become engaged, contributing members of the community, the state, and the country we all love.
Legacy
​
Paige believes sustainability is about more than balancing budgets—it is about legacy.
During her time in the U.S. Army, a Sergeant Major taught her the importance of building a bench: doing work today that others may never see, but that future generations will benefit from.
That lesson continues to shape how Paige approaches leadership and public service. She is deeply committed to leaving systems stronger, more stable, and more just than she found them.
For Paige, sustainability means making responsible, forward-looking decisions that protect the long-term health of the district while preserving local control of public schools.
At present, the district is on a path that places its financial future at risk. Addressing this requires honesty and discipline. Paige supports making sensible, strategic cuts—decisions that reflect community values, protect classrooms, and prioritize students—without placing additional strain on families and residents.
At the same time, she believes sustainability requires a willingness to fight.
Texas has the financial capacity to fully fund public education, yet much of the burden continues to fall on local taxpayers. Paige will advocate for increased state funding so parents and homeowners are not forced to subsidize what the state has the means to support.
Each time a Texas school district is taken over by the state, communities lose their voice and their right to govern their own schools. These takeovers are often the result of prolonged underfunding, not a lack of effort or leadership at the local level. Paige is committed to doing everything possible to prevent that outcome and to sustain strong, locally governed public schools.
The consequences of underfunding are already visible. Five schools in the district were closed. Paige believes it is essential for voters to understand that sustaining public education requires more than concern—it requires alignment. Voting for leaders who do not support funding public schools directly undermines efforts to keep schools open, stable, and adequately resourced.
Sustaining the district is a shared responsibility.
Paige is committed to fighting for the financial support needed to close academic gaps, meet the needs of high-risk students, and ensure every school has the resources required to provide a quality education. She also believes that lasting sustainability depends on community engagement—through voting, advocacy, and support for leaders who are willing to stand up for public education.
Together, this work ensures the district remains strong, accountable, and focused on the future—building a bench that generations of students will be able to sit on.
​Round Table Leadership
​
I believe in roundtable leadership—the kind of leadership that makes room for every voice at the table.
When we’re making decisions or charting a path forward for our district, those conversations shouldn’t happen in isolation. They should include the people who live this work every day. I want to hear from our educators. I want to hear from administrators. I want to hear from staff. I want to hear from bus drivers. I want to hear from parents. And yes—I want to hear from our students.
Each of these voices carries insight, lived experience, and perspective that matters. When we exclude them, we miss opportunities to make better, more informed decisions.
We need to get used to leaders who don’t just speak for the community, but who bring the community into the room—leaders who listen, collaborate, and value shared wisdom when making decisions that will shape our future.
That’s how we build trust. That’s how we build solutions that work. And that’s how we move our district forward—together.
Community
​Paige Dixon believes strong schools are built through strong community partnerships. As a former PTA President at a Title I campus, Paige led with an all-hands-on-deck approach—actively engaging local organizations, faith communities, parents, and volunteers to bridge gaps where schools were stretched thin.
Under her leadership, community members stepped in to tutor students, support lunchrooms, staff school events, and ensure meaningful experiences for families. Partnerships with a local Methodist church provided consistent support for teachers and students, while organizations like the Salvation Army supported literacy nights and family engagement events. Groups such as Concerned Citizens and African American parents came together to provide volunteerism and uplift the school community.
Paige understands that success in vulnerable schools requires a village. Title I schools often face limited resources, staffing challenges, and students navigating real-life barriers to learning. She believes we must plan from where we are—not where we wish we were—and meet students with the support they need to succeed.
With significant academic gaps still present across LISD, Paige is committed to closing those gaps—for the good of every student. That means addressing disparities in math and reading outcomes, especially for students of color, and recognizing that early literacy is critical to long-term success. Every child in LISD deserves the same caliber of education, and in some spaces, that requires the community and district leadership to pour in a little more.
Paige Dixon brings proven community-building experience, practical leadership, and a deep belief that when schools and communities work together, all children can thrive.
