Five school boards from across Texas have been selected as Honor School Boards as part of the 2021 TASA School Board Awards. Each year, the program recognizes outstanding Texas school boards for commitment and service that has made a positive impact on Texas public school students.
Ten boards also are recognized as 2021 Regional Honor Boards and this year that includes Ector County ISD. Superintendent Scott Muri was the nominating superintendent.
The five Honor Boards were selected by a committee of Texas school superintendents, chaired by Hurst-Euless-Bedford ISD Superintendent Steve Chapman, whose school board was named the Outstanding School Board for 2020. The selection committee’s decisions were based on criteria that include: support for educational performance, support for educational improvement projects, commitment to a code of ethics, and maintenance of harmonious and supportive relationships among board members.
The top five boards are Aledo, Duncanville, Hays CISD, Mission CISD and Tomball ISD.
Since 1971, the TASA school board awards program has honored Texas school district boards of trustees that have demonstrated dedication to student achievement and that put students first.
The 2021-22 program is sponsored by TASA Corporate Partners Google for Education and Huckabee.
