Board Approves Gutierrez and Vela for TASB Delegate Assembly Roles

The Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) will soon have new representation from the local school board, as the board approved Liz Gutierrez as the official voting delegate and Priscilla Vela as the alternate for the 2025 TASB delegate assembly. This decision, made during the regular board meeting on July 28, 2025, aims to ensure that local trustees have a voice in shaping educational policies at the state and national levels.

The assembly, scheduled to take place in Houston, serves as a critical platform for school board members across Texas to discuss and influence key issues affecting education. Board members expressed confidence in Gutierrez and Vela's ability to represent the interests of their community effectively.

In addition to the delegate appointments, the meeting also included discussions on personnel matters, including evaluations and employment decisions related to district staff. The board entered a closed session to deliberate on these sensitive topics, underscoring the ongoing commitment to maintaining high standards in school leadership.

The decisions made during this meeting reflect the board's proactive approach to governance and its dedication to enhancing educational outcomes for students in the district. As the new school year approaches, these leadership choices will play a significant role in guiding the district's priorities and initiatives.
