School Board

Regular board meetings are held the THIRD Monday each month, at 6:00 p.m., at the Benson Board Room. Trustees are elected by the voters to establish the educational policies of the district. The Superintendent is employed to administer the schools and carry out these policies with the aid of the professional staff. The Superintendent informs and advises the Board on education-related matters and recommends action based on the input of staff and often with the guidance of parents, community and other sources. The Board consists of seven Trustees, three elected at-large and four elected from two multi-member districts, serving terms of four years, with elections held bi-annually. All meetings, by law, are open to the public. Closed sessions are permitted to allow Board members to address such matters as collective bargaining, confidential student or personnel actions, and items related to litigation.

 

All audience and media members should expect to go through a security screen upon entering. The screening process includes a bag check (large bags are discouraged), and metal detection with walk-through magnetometers and hand-held wands. Anyone refusing to participate in the security screening will not be permitted to enter the facility. If you are unable to go through a magnetometer, please let an officer know, and they will accommodate you.

We appreciate our guests’ acceptance and understanding of the necessary measures to ensure that all who attend the Uvalde CISD Board Meeting have a positive, safe, and secure experience.
