January is School Board Recognition Month and Snyder Independent School District is honored to celebrate its trustees for their dedication and commitment to the district’s schools and students. At the January Board of Trustees Meeting, school board members were treated to a catered meal by the SHS Culinary Department, commissioned artwork from Snyder Primary Students, and a special gift featuring this month’s theme, “Rise Above.”
“We are grateful for your service. This is, sometimes, a thankless job,” said SISD Superintendent Dr. Eddie Bland as he addressed the Board of Trustees. “It’s evident you care about our students, our staff, and our community. So, on behalf of Snyder ISD and the community of Snyder, I thank you for your service."
“School boards are essential to a strong public education system,” Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) Executive Director Dan Troxell said. “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.”
Board members serving are (L-R): Haley Leatherwood; Lauren Collier, Vice President; Doug Neff, Secretary; Ralph Ramon, President; Luann Burleson; and Carrie Richardson.
