The Beginning of a Quest

Hi there, and welcome to my blog! This is something that is new for me but I feel will be able to provide a great avenue in trying to get information out and keeping you informed.

I am creating this blog to let you know about the misdeeds of Dr. Ruth Watson, formerly of North Forest ISD and currently a Spring ISD Board Member.

I have sent the email below to all of the board members at Spring ISD:

I am mad. How can a person who claims to be an educator and work with children, take advantage of them? How can a person who has been in education for over 2 decades redirect money that is designated specifically for special education children and their needs and spend it on her needs and family.
Can you also explain to me why every employee of Spring ISD is required to read and sign a document that states they will abide and uphold their "moral terpitude"? Are SISD board members not held to the same standard as the other employees of SISD?

What makes this even worse is that we are talking about funds for Special Education students. These are students who have special needs. These are students who need special equipment. These are students who need extra help in their day to day activities. These students are no different than those that are “normal”, other than maybe they can’t talk, or walk, or play like a “normal” child. Is that why she took these funds from these students because they couldn’t speak up? Because they weren’t “normal”?

The person that I am speaking about is Dr. Ruth Watson. Dr. Watson was an employee of North Forest ISD before Channel 13’s Undercover Unit exposed her and her ‘family affair’ of her taking care of those family members and friends, but not the Special Education Students that she was hired to watch over. This woman was being paid over $7,000 per month, and when the North Forest ISD voted to not renew her contract, she offered to be bought out for $250,000. North Forest ISD chose to pay her the monthly salary for a few months.

What is wrong with this picture?

Dr. Watson was elected to the Spring ISD Board of Trustees in November 2007, about a year before the Undercover Investigation. She currently serves as chairwoman of the facility planning committee and is a member of the audit and finance committees. I don’t know about you, but I have a problem with this type of person being a part of any finance or audit committee. I have a problem with this type of person, who takes advantage of children and their needs, being in a position to make decisions for children. In my opinion, she has lost that trust.

Dr. Watson needs to either resign and keep what dignity she feels she has left, or she needs to be removed from the Spring ISD Board.

I am a taxpayer in the Spring ISD and have 2 children that attend Spring ISD schools. This has nothing to do with race, it has to do with what is right. It has to do with common sense. It has to do with re-establishing a standard within Spring ISD that all of our Board Members are held to a higher standard and genuinely care about the students that are within their district.

I look forward to hearing from each of you and doing whatever it takes to rectify this situation.


It is time for us to stand up and take action. It is time for us to take our district back and put people in there that have the children's interests at heart and not their own personal agenda.
It is time for us to get Ruth Watson off of the Spring ISD Board!
