January is School Board Recognition Month. Each January schools take time to recognize the dedication and commitment of the school board members who serve their communities and work tirelessly to ensure that every student receives a quality education.
"Our school board members are vital to the success of our schools and our students," Superintendent Herbert O’Neil said. "They volunteer their time and energy to make sure that our schools are run effectively and efficiently."
The school board members are responsible for making important decisions that affect the education of the students in the district. They set policies, approve budgets, and hire staff and administrators. They also serve as a link between the community and the schools.
"We are fortunate to have such board members who are committed to ensuring that our schools are safe and provide a high-quality education for all students. I want our Board to know that their contributions to our schools are truly appreciated.”
Throughout January, Hempstead ISD will be celebrating our school board members on our district social media channels and in person at the Monday, January 22, 2024 school board meeting.
