TSBA EAST FALL DISTRICT MEETING
BOARD MEMBERS HONORED
Several East District school board members earned TSBA Boardsmanship Awards in 2025. The awards are presented to individual board members who have achieved one of five levels of boardsmanship standards over the past year. The program is designed to recognize school board members for participation in board activities beyond the local level through a commitment to training, willingness to participate in workshops and a volunteer spirit.
