Friendswood ISD board trustee Tony Hopkins has joined the Texas Association of School Boards to fill the interim position C in Region 4.

Hopkins has served on the FISD board since 2008. He has served as vice president of the board for eight of his 10 years as trustee.

“I was interested in the position because so much of what we do as a local trustee is dictated by Austin and Washington D.C. so I wanted our local board to have a voice at the state and federal level,” Hopkins said.

Hopkins will serve on the TASB board until the TASB state convention in late September. He will then run to fill the position’s three-year term.

TASB is a private, nonprofit association providing products and services to Texas school boards.
