La Vernia ISD to honor school board members


January is School Board Recognition Month and the La Vernia Independent School District (ISD) is honored to celebrate its trustees for their dedication and commitment to the district’s schools and students.

La Vernia’s trustees will be recognized Monday, Jan. 10, during the regular school board meeting.

“Our school board members are selfless volunteers who spend long hours working to ensure all of our students have the opportunity to learn and grow,” said Dr. Hensley Cone, district superintendent. “Celebrating School Board Recognition Month is one way to say thanks for all they do.”

Serving as a link between the community and classroom, school board members are elected to establish the policies that provide the framework for public schools.

“School boards are essential to a strong public education system,” said Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) Executive Director Dan Troxell. “They provide the local governance and oversight that makes it possible for school districts to serve students, including establishing a strategic plan, adopting policies, approving a budget, and selecting and evaluating a superintendent. It’s fitting that we celebrate them in January as their leadership is key to the success of every school district in Texas.”
