Governor Rick Perry has proclaimed January as School Board Recognition Month and West Oso Independent School District is joining other districts across the state to gratefully acknowledge local trustees’ unfailing commitment to our communities and schools.

Serving on a local school board is no easy task, especially in today’s climate of change and economic uncertainties. It is a huge responsibility, one which has an effect on virtually every aspect of our schools. In January, we encourage our community to help honor the contributions and dedication of our local school board members. These locally elected citizens, who volunteer their time, make decisions that influence and direct the education of our youth.  Our board is one of 1,039 district and county school boards across the state. They bear the responsibility and oversight in West Oso ISD of an annual budget of 20 million; more than 2,000 students; and approximately 350 employees. The Board enables us to have local control of our public schools, and decisions are made by local leaders who understand the community’s unique culture, values and challenges.

West Oso ISD asks community members to take a moment to thank our local school board members for making the time to share their vision and voice about the future of our children. We proudly salute these education advocates as they provide leadership for student achievement, academic programs, district funding, and school facilities.
