The lobbying thing is SOOO Stoopid. It’s just aimed at TASB, which doesn’t lobby much & does a lot of great stuff for schools. Meanwhile, corporate lobbyists own our politicians Most of the other stuff is too vague to take seriously.

TASB GR sent the letter below to the SBOE asking for a firm availability date and relief on this year’s timeline re: SB 204. The new parental rights training - a 5 hour course - still isn’t available to trustees, yet their deadline to complete it has not moved. #txlege

This week, our Superintendent and members of the Stafford MSD Board of Trustees joined school leaders from across Texas Association of School Boards (@tasb_news) Summer Leadership Institute in San Antonio. Over three impactful days, trustees engaged in sessions focused on effective governance, student achievement, school finance, legislative updates, community engagement, and innovative practices shaping the future of public education. We are grateful for a Board that is committed to continuous learning and bringing back new ideas that support the success of our students, staff, and families. Their dedication to growth and service helps ensure Stafford MSD remains focused on providing exceptional opportunities for every student. Thank you to our Board of Trustees for representing Stafford MSD and investing in the future of our schools. #WeAreStafford #SpartanPride #TASB #BoardLeadership #PublicEducation #StudentSuccess #SchoolBoardStrong

Today in San Antonio, there was a moment behind the stage that reminded me why I do what I do. The audience eventually sees the lights, the stage, and the message. But the real magic often happens in the quiet moments—in conversations, handshakes, tears, and stories shared one person at a time. I was reminded again of Melanie’s story. One life touched.
One person encouraged.
One act of service.
One decision to care. We sometimes underestimate the ripple effect of a single moment. But when we lift one person, we rarely lift only one person. The impact moves to families, classrooms, workplaces, and future generations we may never meet. The world changes one life at a time. May we never become so focused on numbers that we forget names. Because the greatest influence isn’t measured by the size of the audience—it’s measured by the lives we help change. #Leadership #Service #RippleEffect #Influence #TASB #Education #MakeADifference #OneLifeAtATime #LeaveALegacy

Always thankful for our Hempstead ISD Board of Trustees and their commitment to learning, leadership, and strong governance.

The 'fight' should be with the TASB/Teachers Union controlled marxists within our education system that brainwash our children while simultaneously creating a work product that is increasingly worse, while they themselves are one of the major contributors to the budget crisis.

We are pleased to announce that we have six local media members who have been named to the 2026 Media Honor Roll, a program sponsored by the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB): Baylee Bates—KCEN TV Sydni Walker—KCEN TV Victor Venegas—KXXV TV Robert Lopez—KWKT TV Madison Herber—KWTX TV Bella Casey—Temple Daily Telegram The Media Honor Roll recognizes media representatives statewide for fair and balanced reporting of news about public schools. Criteria for the district selection included the media representative’s efforts to get to know the superintendent, board president, and the district’s mission and goals; report school news in a fair, accurate, and balanced manner; give a high profile to positive news about schools; visit the schools; and maintain a policy of no surprises by sharing information with school officials. On behalf of Temple ISD, thank you for investing in our district and telling our story with integrity. #TempleISDproud

They won’t condemn it, bc they would lose members. TASB won’t ever make a stmt bc their risk management attorneys allow for these predators to have non disparagement agreements & promises to not report them to SBEC. Unions & Tasb help pass the trash #txlege
