Paris ISD joins school districts across the state in honoring school boards

Posted Date: 01/07/2016

Paris ISD joins districts across the state and nation this month in honoring the contributions and dedication of our local school board members - our locally elected citizens who make decisions that affect, influence and direct the education of our youth.  The theme for this year’s occasion is "SUPER-HEROES for SCHOOLS." 

“Please join us in saying "thank you" to the men and women who dedicate countless personal hours to ensure the needs of our community are met by our schools,” said Paul Jones, Superintendent of Schools. “We salute the public servants of the Paris ISD whose dedication and civic responsibility enables our students to achieve full potential and become productive, responsible citizens.”

“Putting in long hours and working for no pay, these dedicated public servants set high expectations for student achievement and support successful teaching and learning.  Paris ISD trustees empower students with the knowledge and skills they need to become productive, responsible citizens and help our diverse student and staff population progress successfully into an ever changing and globally diverse world,” said Jones.

Please take a moment to thank a school board member for caring about the future of our children. Our school board members, George Fisher, president; Dr. Bert Strom, vice president, Becki Norment, secretary, and members Terry Davis, Dr. Clifton Kerby, Sharma Williams, and Jenny Wilson are super-heroes for every child, every school, every day.  In recognition of their contribution to our schools, several students will thank the trustees publicly at the January 11 school board meeting and present the trustees gifts of appreciation.
