Burton ISD is celebrating its school trustees during this School Board Recognition Month.
Each January, school districts around the state of Texas honor their board members and let the public know about their contributions.
Superintendent Dr. Edna Kennedy said school board members provide the framework for public schools and serve as a link between the community and classroom.
The members of the Burton ISD board include Board President Misty Lucherk, Board Vice President Demetrius Colvin, Board Secretary Jeff Harmel, David Warner, Sr., Dean Fuchs, Donna Putnam and Brian Hinze.
The board is responsible for an annual budget of $9 million, as well as two campuses with 520 students and 88 employees. The board recently successfully approved a facilities improvement bond for $43,870,000.
Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) Executive Director Dan Troxell said school boards “are essential to a strong public education system,” and their leadership “is key to the success of every school district in Texas.”
Please consider raising substitute pay. Districts around the area are paying their substitutes a higher salary. I started subbing in Brenham ISD due to the increase that they are paid.
Burton is a great district, but salary and pay raises for substitutes need to change.
