January is School Board Recognition Month and Elysian Fields ISD is honored to celebrate its trustees for their dedication and commitment to the district’s schools and students.
“Our school board members are selfless volunteers who spend long hours working to ensure all of our students have the opportunity to learn and grow,” said EFISD Superintendent Maynard Chapman. “Celebrating School Board Recognition Month is one way to say thanks for all they do.”
Serving as a link between the community and classroom, school board members are elected to establish the policies that provide the framework for public schools.
“School board members are essential to a strong public education system,” Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) Executive Director Dan Troxell said. “They provide the local governance and oversight that makes it possible for school districts to serve students , including establishing a strategic plan, adopting policies, approving a budget, and other duties. It’s fitting that we celebrate them in January as their leadership is key to the success of every school district in Texas.
Help us thank and congratulate our EFISD School Board members for their tireless work in serving our students and staff!
