Foreman on June 26, 2014.
Earlier this month, Joyce Foreman was elected to the Dallas ISD Board of Trustees representing District 6, which covers southwest Dallas. She was sworn into office during the Trustees’ meeting on June 26.
Once that process was complete, the board reorganized and elected District 8 Trustee Miguel Solis as president. The board also elected District 5 Trustee Lew Blackburn as 1st vice president, District 1 Trustee Elizabeth Jones as 2nd vice president and District 3 Trustee Dan Micciche as secretary.
As the newest addition to the nine-member board, Foreman replaced former Trustee Carla Ranger, who declined to seek another term. Her involvement advocating for education in the community will help shape the Dallas ISD within District 6 and throughout the district, where her efforts will directly impact students, teachers and staff.
Foreman brings experience from a variety of education-related affiliations to the board. Most notably, she has served on the Dallas ISD Bond Advisory Committee since 2002. Passionate about preparing our students to be the best and brightest, Foreman has held other leadership positions in the district as a member of the Superintendent’s Advisory Committee and the Commission on Educational Excellence.
In May, Board President Solis and District 2 Trustee Mike Morath were sworn in to new terms. Morath ran unopposed, while Solis successfully ran for re-election.
