Responsibilities of Leadership
School Boards and Superintendents work as a team to lead the District. The "Team of Eight," consisting of the seven-member board of trustees and the Superintendent, work together to guide the Texarkana Independent School District towards excellence. The current board members bring diverse backgrounds and expertise into the system and together, have over 30 years of service to the District.
 
Board Service
TISD voters elect seven board members to serve three-year staggered terms. Five positions are elected in geographic districts and two trustees are elected at-large. Elections are held annually on the first Saturday in May. The Board establishes educational policies to be executed by the Superintendent of Schools, whose primary responsibility is to provide creative and effective administrative leadership. Trustees do not receive compensation for their service on the Board.
 
Board Meetings
The TISD Board of Trustees meets in regular session on the third Tuesday of each month at 6 p.m. at the Services Building, 1600 Waterall, or at other designated District sites.
 
Citizens are welcome to attend meetings of the Board of Trustees. Persons desiring to address the Board may speak on matters other than personnel at the Open Forum held during each regular meeting, or may be placed on the agenda by notifying the Superintendent in writing by noon Wednesday preceding regularly scheduled Board meeting. Notice of regular and called meetings is posted three days in advance of scheduled meetings in the Administration Building, 4241 Summerhill Road, and with any news media requesting such notice.
