The Conroe ISD Board of Trustees approved an amended list of legislative priorities to handle important problems confronting Texas schools at their January 23 meeting. The changes concentrate on five main areas: Basic Allotment, Special Education Allotment, Safety and Security, Transportation Allotment, and Accountability and Assessment Reform.
Emphasizing the district's will to advocate for teachers and kids, Board President Misty Odenweller said, "The updated priorities reflect our continuous commitment to ensuring the growth and safety of our district while addressing critical challenges in education."
To forward these issues and inspire community people to remain educated, trustees have already started conversations with legislators. The Board of Trustees' webpage provides the whole list of objectives; residents may locate their legislative representatives using the "Who Represents Me?" function.
