expectation of salary, working
purely for the common good. All
Texans should recognize and
appreciate the many contributions

she said.
"As citizen advocates, individual

often demanding job; yet few
people fully understand the scope
and far-reaching implications of
board members' responsibilities,"
said Billy Walker, executive director
of the Texas Association of School

districts across the state will use
this opportunity to build awareness
and understanding in their
communities of the important
function an elected board of
education plays in communities and
schools.
"Public education in this nation
is a beacon to the world in its
commitment to meeting the needs
of all its children without regard to
race, wealth or disability. An
excellent public education system is
vital to the quality of life of all
Texas citizens and communities,
and is basic to the future economic
strength of our country,” the
governor said. "More than 7,000
men and women serve their Texas
communities on school boards and
continually strive to improve the
quality of education in the state's
school districts. The local board of
education is a uniquely American
institution that has made the public
schools both flexible and
responsive to the needs of local
communities, the state and the
nation, while keeping alive the
fundamental ideal of representative
government," she said.
