Making up for student learning losses may be worse. School boards provide oversight for local education systems, and voters are entrusted with electing the trustees who will influence education in their communities. School boards shape local educational programming and board trustees govern districts with the advice of superintendents, who manage districts via the oversight of trustees through policies and priorities boards adopt, according to the Texas Association of School Boards' website.
They also adopt policies that establish how a school district will generally operate. Trustees in Texas are not paid for board service, but their influence can extend past local school boards.

Another big lesson we learned is that programs do not replace people. Educational technology works as a supplement and not as a core component of instruction. Our human resources are valuable and we should be aligning these resources to the needs of every student. The former superintendent created a structure where much of the consulting was outsourced.
We need to utilize the personnel we have to work in-house to problem solve for our students and staff, so that resources can be allocated where they are really needed. Are there any departments within the district that you believe need to be reformed?
If so, what are they? If elected, it is important to thoroughly review the organizational structure to ensure coherence between the needs of learning communities and district operations. Following this year of disruption, the issues that we started with may not be the ones that need the most attention.
We must audit everything from the top down to determine what works, what needs to be rethought, and what needs to be changed. It is important that there is a regular schedule of assessment and reporting as part of an ongoing effort to promote accountability.
By involving parents and advocacy groups, we can create a coalition that provides opportunities to mobilize sectors of our organization to work on issues important to us all. The more voices we seek out and hear, the more successful our change efforts will be.
