Dr. Camille
Rodriguez

Dr. Camille Rodriguez, DPM, was born and raised on the historic Northside of Fort Worth, Texas.

A proud product of FWISD schools, Dr Rodriguez graduated from the Honors Program at Paul Laurence Dunbar High School. She is the first in her family to graduate from a university having graduated with a full academic scholarship from a historically black college, Prairie View A & M University, with a BS degree in Biology.

Before starting medical school, Camille worked as a substitute teacher at FWISD.  She quickly learned that teachers do extraordinary work to educate our next generation!

Dr. Rodriguez graduated with honors from New York College of Podiatric Medicine in New York City, NY.  None of this would have been possible without the stellar education Dr. Rodriguez received from FWISD and the teachers and staff who believed in her dream to become a doctor and return to her community to address health disparities.  Dr. Rodriguez kept that promise, returning to Northside where she has practiced medicine for over 20 years.

Dr. Rodriguez was the youngest person to ever be elected to FWISD school board in 2004.  In four short years, she accomplished much for her community.

In 2022, Camille successfully ran for election again to the Fort Worth Independent School District board.  In the last 3 years she has achieved so much, including the following:

• Concrete improvements in our schools, including at North Side High School, which went from an 'F' to a 'C' campus.
   
• Approved the first Facilities Master Plan in almost 20 years to help make data driven decisions for our 2021 Bond program.
   
• Approved 5 year Strategic Plan that is based on what matters most to our community and provides a clear path on how we will achieve these goals!
   
• Approved resolution to focus intently on literacy to provide a strong foundation for ALL our students.
   
• Created several food pantries in District 1 which assist our students and their families during these difficult times.
   
• FWISD also now provides free dinners to our students to ensure that NO child goes hungry while trying to learn.

Dr. Rodriguez has been a dedicated servant leader her entire life.  She is a life member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc and has served on the boards of Artes de la Rosa, All Church Home for Children, Ballet Folklorico, and the Fort Worth Symphony. She is a board member of the Red Cross Greater North Texas Region, and has been a member of All Saints Catholic Church her entire life.

As a daughter of the Northside, Dr. Rodriguez is truly an extraordinary example of what can happen when an urban school district commits to education and lifts up all students.

There is still so much work for us to do together!

If elected, I will continue to advocate for all our students.  I want our students to have the same opportunities that I was blessed to have!

• Continue to have strong fiscal responsibility, as we do not know to what level the Texas Legislature will fund our public schools.  In fact, teachers have not received increased compensation from the state since 2019!  In spite of budget constraints, the FWISD School Board, voted to give our hardworking teachers and staff a pay raise last year.
   
• Always work hand-in-hand with our schools.  Every single day, I am either in our District 1 schools and/or I converse with parents, teachers, or students.  As someone who has lived in District 1 for over 50 years, everyone knows how accessible I am.  Together we can *and* must, make a positive difference for our students!
