Our trustees are elected to establish policies that provide the framework for our schools. They tackle a difficult job and shoulder enormous responsibilities. Overall, they represent the BISD community and take their leadership roles seriously by attending numerous meetings; broadening their knowledge at conferences and seminars; and talking about the schools with business leaders, parents, and neighbors,\u201d said Darrell Brown, Birdville ISD superintendent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToo often we neglect to recognize the dedication of these local citizens who work without pay. So each year, the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) encourages communities to show appreciation to these individuals for their unfailing commitment to the success of all students. The staff and students of BISD applaud our board members for their vision and voice to help shape a better tomorrow,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Birdville ISD\u2019s 2015\u201316 trustees are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Jack McCarty, president;<\/li>\n<li>Dolores Webb, vice president;<\/li>\n<li>Joe Tolbert, secretary;<\/li>\n<li>Brad Greene, trustee;<\/li>\n<li>Richard Davis, trustee;<\/li>\n<li>Ralph Kunkel, trustee; and<\/li>\n<li>Cary D.

Please take a moment and tell our school board members \u2018thanks for caring about our children and giving so much to our community.\u2019 Let them know we support them and that their dedicated service is recognized and truly appreciated,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>January 2016 is School Board Recognition Month, and Birdville ISD joins other districts across the state as they honor the countless contributions of these locally-elected advocates for public education. \u201cServing on a local school board is no easy task, particularly in today\u2019s climate of rapid change and financial uncertainty.
