Aldine ISD Trustee Marine Jones announced her retirement from the Board of Education during the Jan. 15 Board meeting. Jones’ retirement is effective immediately.

Jones was appointed to Position 1 in February 2002 and elected in May after retiring from a 38-year career in Aldine ISD. During her years as an educator, she served as a school secretary, teacher, librarian and counselor. Jones is a 37-year resident of the Aldine community. During her 10 years on the Board, Jones held all four Board offices and chaired numerous committees.

Jones said she was grateful for the opportunities she received over the years as an employee in AISD and as an AISD Trustee. She said she was proud to be a part of the best school district in Texas and thanked the many people she came in contact with over the years for their support and encouragement.

She added, “I have spent numerous hours attending extracurricular activities, visiting schools, hugging students and parents, congratulating teachers and principals on a job well done and creating policies and making difficult decisions that keep our schools running smoothly. However, the time has come for me to move on to the next chapter of my life.”

In addition to her service as an AISD Trustee, Jones serves as a member of the North Harris County Association of Retired School Personnel, has served as president of the Gulf Coast Area Association of School Boards and is a member of the Hidden Valley Civic Club.

Her fellow board members, along with Superintendent Dr. Wanda Bamberg and Deputy Superintendent Dr. Archie Blanson, thanked her for her service to Board and to the students and staff of AISD. In addition, those who attended the Jan. 15 Board meeting gave Jones a standing ovation.
