Some context
The board previously approved four resolutions during a June 6 board meeting, which were submitted to the Texas Association of School Boards to help form its 2024-26 Advocacy Agenda. The agenda guides TASB representatives on advocating for public schools at the legislative level.
TASB held its Delegate Assembly Sept. 28, where delegates—or trustees from Texas school boards—adopted the advocacy agenda using resolutions submitted by districts to the association. Trustee Jean Mayer serves as PfISD’s delegate.
