TABSE State Conference

The BEAC Executive Board attended the Texas Alliance of Black School Educators (TABSE) in Houston, TX February 28 - March 3.

TABSE is an affiliate of the National Alliance of Black School Educators (NABSE) and is committed to improving the educational achievement of African-American students. TABSE believes in identifying and promoting activities designed to sensitize the public-at-large and educators specifically to the needs of African-American students in all areas of development.

A great time was had and lots of learning occurred to inform the work of the BEAC General Body. Vice President Sebastian and Trustee Torres will provide an update at an upcoming Board meeting.

Honoring SAISD Black Educators with Earned Doctorates
