Join SAISD in celebrating School Board Recognition Month throughout the month of January. We will take a moment before our Jan. 21 Board Meeting to recognize and honor the work our Trustees are doing to help our students blast off into the future!

Please join us in celebration at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 21, in the Burnet Learning Center cafeteria.

Serving as a locally elected school board member means making difficult decisions for a district, its employees, and its children. It means being available to hear from concerned parents in the grocery store, at the game, or over the backyard fence. It means committing to the time it takes to do the job right.

Fortunately, in every community, caring adults have signed on for the responsibility and hard work of making our schools the best they can be. They commit to read reports, learn the laws, understand the community’s needs, set thoughtful goals, and wisely handle the district’s financial resources. They immerse themselves in learning what they need to know to make good decisions that will provide for students, from the very youngest to the graduating senior. Trustees are public servants who generously work to benefit the most vulnerable members of each community.
