School Board Recognition Month

Each January, we honor the dedicated individuals who tirelessly serve their communities as volunteers — school board members. School boards oversee the operation of local public schools and work to ensure that students are getting a high-quality education. School Board Recognition Month is an opportunity to show trustees how much we appreciate their work, leadership, and commitment to improving our schools.   

The 2026 School Board Recognition theme is: Our Future Is Public.  

As trustees volunteer their time and expertise to guide the direction of school districts, they invest in the future workforce, their communities and the Texas economy. Our Future Is Public is a year-round campaign that highlights and elevates success stories from districts across the state. Learn more about Our Future Is Public.

Planning Kit 

Each year, TASB prepares a School Board Recognition Month planning kit to help districts recognize their local trustees. The kit is full of ideas for honoring board members and letting the community know about their many contributions. 

Our online planning kit includes: 

• Sample materials, like a news release and proclamation 
• Artwork to post on social media, district websites, and in printed materials 
• Customizable certificates for trustees 
• And more!
