School boards: largest group of locally elected officials

County school boards are often treated to downhome cooking, but in January it’s a given during School Board Recognition Month.

It’s an opportunity to show appreciation for the individuals who give their time and attention to uplifting public education and representing their community in the guidance of their schools.

“School trustees voluntarily tackle the job of governing school districts and do so in a manner that shows what it means to be unwavering in their commitment to the schoolchildren they serve,” said Dan Troxell, TASB executive director. “While board members come from different backgrounds and live different lives, they collectively come together with the common goal to support students.”
