To be an effective and cohesive TBISD Board of Trustee, we believe in: a.) attending all meetings, b.) being fully prepared, c.) acquiring proper training -- 16 hours for new members, 8 hours for continuing members; and d.) promoting positive Board relations at all times. A process to enhance the curriculum at Tom Bean ISD was discussed and approved with an end of the year evaluation in May. An addition to the agricultural barn was discussed and proposals were reviewed. Southern Fencing’s proposal was approved to add an additional ten (10) pens to the present facility. This will allow housing for our students projects during the year.

Tom Bean’s communication and the District web page provide useful and current information. The preliminary Adequate Yearly Progress and the Performance Base Monitoring Accountability System reports will be given at the November board meeting. The Superintendent and the Board of Trustees will meet on November 13, 2008 for a Team of 8 Board training which is required by law.
