School Board Recognition Month

Posted Date: 12/31/2024

School boards oversee the operation of local public schools and work to ensure that students are getting a high-quality education. School Board Recognition Month is an opportunity to show trustees how much we appreciate their work, leadership, and commitment to improving our schools. The 2025 School Board Recognition theme is: Leadership for Tomorrow’s Texas.

As trustees volunteer their time and expertise to guide school districts, they showcase their commitment to creating meaningful educational experiences and opportunities that prepare students for college, careers, and beyond. This month we take a moment to recognize the value of their work to our students and our communities. Please join with our school district and take a moment to tell a school board member “thanks for caring about our students’ education.”  

THANK YOU!
