A Work of Heart

Campuses throughout the district celebrated CFISD's Board of Trustees in January for School Board Recognition Month. The School Board is a team of seven individuals, each elected by the CFISD community for a four-year term. Board members receive no salary for their service to the community.

A few of the ways CFISD campuses recognized Board members in January are listed below.

To show its appreciation for the CFISD Board of Trustees during ‎School Board Recognition Month, Hopper MS dedicated books focused on career choices to the school library in the Board's honor.


Watkins MS
Board member Kevin Hoffman visits with eight-grade students from Carol Barron's class at Watkins MS after being presented with a certificate recognizing the donation of a book to the school library in his name. 
Several campuses chose to donate a book dedicated to a specific Board member. Watkins MS selected Kevin Hoffman, who was honored to make a visit and meet with some of the students.
