We want to share an important development:
Deer Park ISD has issued a public response to media inquiries about Pastor Doug Harris’s sermons targeting superintendent finalist Dr. Tiffany Regan.
While the district declined to comment directly on the sermons, the district referred ABC13 Eyewitness News to a statement from School Board President Jason Cable:
“As the Board President, I would share that the Deer Park ISD Board of Trustees has remained committed to a fair, transparent, and legally compliant hiring process in selecting the next superintendent. The Board’s decision to name Dr. Tiffany Regan as the Lone Finalist was based on her proven leadership, experience in education, and dedication to student success – the core qualifications required for this role.”
“As a public institution, we adhere to state and federal employment laws, which prohibit discrimination based on certain personal characteristics unrelated to job performance. Our focus has been on ensuring that the best candidate is in place to lead our district forward, fostering an environment that supports all students, educators, and families.”
“I recognize that there are differing perspectives within our community, and the engagement and passion of those invested in our schools is appreciated. However, the Board will remain steadfast in our commitment to making decisions rooted in qualifications, integrity, and what is best for our students and district.”
This statement is a clear affirmation that:
• Dr. Regan was selected based on merit, leadership, and experience.
• The district is committed to inclusion and non-discrimination.
• The board will not be swayed by discriminatory or identity-based opposition.
Let’s thank the Deer Park ISD Board for standing firm—and continue showing our support for Dr. Regan and the values that strengthen our schools.
