Disponible en:

The Aldine ISD Board of Trustees has been selected as one of five finalists for the honor of being named Texas’ Outstanding School Board.

The AISD Board and four other school boards from across Texas will be interviewed during the TASA/TASB Convention, set for Sept. 27-29 in Dallas. The overall winner will be named during the convention.

AISD’s Board qualified for state honors by being named the Region 4 Honor Board in July. Aldine’s Board was also named the Region 4 Honor Board in 1973 and 1998 and was named Texas’ Outstanding School Board in those years as well.

Aldine ISD’s Board consists of President Merlin Griggs, Vice-President Steve Mead, Secretary Dr. Viola M. García, Assistant Secretary Dr. Alton Smith and Members Rose Ávalos, Rick Ogden and José Palacios Jr. Former Trustee Marine Jones was part of the Board when it was named the Region 4 Honor Board prior to her retirement from the Board.

The Texas Association of School Administrators (TASA) created the School Board Awards Program in 1971 to recognize school boards whose dedication and ethical service have made a positive impact on the school children of Texas.
