The Aldine Independent School District (ISD) Board Meeting held on August 20, 2024, focused on recognizing outstanding contributions from staff members and introducing a new employee award. The meeting began with acknowledgments from the operations team, highlighting the impact of three individuals on the district, students, and the community.

The first recognition was for Miguel Rodriguez, an alumnus of the Lane School program, who was unable to attend due to family commitments. Despite his absence, the board expressed gratitude for his hard work and dedication, noting his journey from a program participant to a full-time staff member. The operations team emphasized the importance of his contributions to the Aldine community.

Following this, the board introduced the inaugural Aldine Impact Award, aimed at celebrating exceptional customer service within the district. Katerra Gisbe, an assistant at Spence Elementary School, was honored as the first recipient of this award. The board members expressed excitement about this new initiative, which aims to support and recognize employees who exemplify the district's commitment to service and community engagement.

The meeting concluded with a call for continued support and recognition of staff efforts, reinforcing the district's mission to foster a positive and impactful environment for both employees and students.
