TASB Board Accepting Director Nominations 

With a May 9 deadline to nominate trustees for a position on the TASB Board of Directors, now is the time for local school boards to put forward one of their colleagues to represent their community and region.  

“We are member led and need voices from all school boards — large and small, rural and urban. It’s so important that regions have representation at the state level so we can learn from each other and build a strong association,” said TASB President Rolinda Schmidt.   

The 2025 Delegate Assembly is set for Sept. 13, and the nominations timeline has been adjusted to ensure ample opportunity for boards to participate in the process. This year, local boards in Regions 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 13, 16, and 20 are invited to review the vacancy list and take action to nominate a trustee from their boards.   

Nominations must be received by TASB no later than Friday, May 9. Log in to access the director nomination forms.

“The nominations period is just step one in this grassroots process,” Schmidt said. “Starting May 12, we will ask local boards to endorse candidates in their region.”   

Candidates who receive endorsements from a majority of local boards in their regions will be elected and take office at the end of txEDCON25. For vacancies without an endorsement majority, the candidates will be interviewed in August by the Nominations Committee, who will forward a recommended slate of candidates to the Delegate Assembly.   

Active Members (local school boards and education service center boards) may approve endorsements only between May 12 and August 1.
