January is School Board Recognition Month. CFISD would like to recognize the women and men who sit on the district's board of trustees. Please join us in expressing appreciation for the work that the CFISD school board does.
The Board meets twice monthly in the Board Room of the Instructional Support Center located at 10300 Jones Road. During these meetings, the Board focuses its actions on policy making, planning and evaluation. Members of the community are welcome to make presentations to the board during a special segment of the meeting. This is an important part of the decision making process as it provides a direct link between the board members and the community they serve.
School board members are elected by the CFISD community. Each serves a staggered four-year term so that the entire Board is never up for election at the same time. All registered voters who reside within the district’s boundaries are eligible to vote in any Trustee Election. Board members receive no salary for their services to the community.
In addition to the seven elected trustees, there is an eighth member of the team: the superintendent. The superintendent of schools is appointed by the Board and acts as its executive officer in administering its policies in the operation of schools. The superintendent also acts as an advisor in keeping the Board informed of the needs and progress of the schools.
More information on school board functions, board meeting dates and biographies of current board members are available on the district website under the About Us section.
