Hats Off to Texas Trustees!
They are devoted to students and give tirelessly to their communities. Governor Rick Perry proclaimed January 2010 as School Board Recognition Month to help build awareness of the crucial role an elected board of trustees plays in our communities and schools.
“Balancing the need for local control with directives coming down from larger governmental bodies is neither an easy nor oftentimes appreciated task, but for over two centuries, school boards have risen to such challenges,” Perry said. "Complicating matters further are issues such as the rapidly expanding role of technology in the classroom, the challenge to keep our children both educated and physically active, and--as always--the difficulties inherent in dealing with budgetary priorities.
"The people who make up these boards are uncompensated and, all too often, unsung for their efforts. These people volunteer their time because they care; they care about their communities, they care about their schools and, most importantly, they care about the children."
This month, New Caney ISD salutes our Board!
