January is School Board Recognition Month, and Dallas ISD is honoring our nine trustees for their dedication and commitment to the district and its students.
The theme this year is “Our Future Is Public,” which exemplifies the critical role our school trustees have in shaping the future of our communities. School board members help connect educational opportunities for our students and the state’s future workforce.
Under Dallas ISD Board of Trustee leadership, district elementary and middle schools received top rankings in recent reports from the U.S. News & World Report, received the highest bond rating of a AAA from Kroll Bond Rating Agency, and was awarded the District of Distinction Award from the Texas Art Education Association.
