January is School Board Recognition Month

Governor Rick Perry has proclaimed January as School Board Recognition Month and Weatherford Independent School District is joining other districts across the state to gratefully acknowledge their commitment to our communities and schools.

Board Members establish and design a structure for the education program, ensure that schools are accountable to the community, and strongly advocate continuous improvement in student learning.  This job requires the Board Members of Weatherford ISD to contribute countless hours each year which deserve recognition and thanks for their dedication to the continuing success of our students and schools. 

The WISD Board unselfishly contributes their time and talents for the advancement of public education, making their number one goal to provide the best education possible for all of the WISD students.  Focused tightly on student learning, they also ensure that our district wisely plans for spending education dollars, resulting in a fiscally sound district that is focused on student achievement.

In order to recognize the Board for their outstanding efforts, all WISD campuses have adopted a member and will host them for lunch.  Another tradition to WISD for Board Recognition Month is to adorn the board room with banners and cards made by students in appreciation of these individuals.

“The Trustees work hard, care about our children, and stand as one of the greatest assets to our community. We have an outstanding group of people that are focused on forging excellence for every student of the WISD,” Cron stated.

The individuals that proudly serve Weatherford ISD are Mac Smith, president; Bob Guess, vice president; Charlie Martinez, secretary; Carroll Dawson; Yale Young; Rachel R. Johnson; and Julie Sellers.  In January, join with others throughout our district and state to salute the men and women who give so tirelessly of their time to ensure that all students of WISD receive a quality education.
