DALLAS ISD HONORS BOARD OF TRUSTEES

January is Board Recognition Month
The Dallas Independent School District is joining other Texas school districts in observing School Board Recognition Month during January to honor the hard work and dedication of trustees who serve voluntarily and without compensation. This year’s theme is Hearts & Hands for Kids, as the entire state focuses on the crucial role trustees play in our communities and schools.

According to the Texas Association of School Boards, school boards are charged with establishing a vision for a district’s education program, designing a structure to achieve that vision, ensuring that schools are accountable to the community and strongly advocating continuous improvement in student learning. The Dallas ISD Board of Trustees establishes policies by which the district operates. Dallas ISD Board of Trustees are:

•President – Eric Cowan, District 7 (North Central Oak Cliff and parts of West Dallas)
