BURTON Independent School District Celebrates School Board Recognition Month This January

Good morning from BURTON INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT - #TEAMBURTON!!! 

January 18, 2021 

Praying everyone is staying healthy and well!!!

The Burton Independent School District will join 1,024 school districts throughout Texas to celebrate January as School Board Recognition Month, Dr. Edna Kennedy announced.

“Our school board members are volunteers who shoulder critical responsibilities and often make difficult choices for our district, all without pay. Their goal is always focused on the future success of the children in our district,” Dr. Kennedy said. “Celebrating School Board Recognition Month is one way to say thanks for all they do.”

Serving as a link between the community and classroom, school board members are elected to establish the policies that provide the framework for public schools. The Burton ISD board is responsible for an annual budget of $7.8 million, 385 students, 88 employees, and 3 campuses.

As the foundation for #TEAMBURTON, the board has worked diligently to make employee compensation competitive, provide funding for stellar academic programs, implement safety and security measures, approve a budget that meets all district needs and supports initiatives to help our students make successful educational progress. Dr. Kennedy states, “we are proud of the accomplishments of our students because of the positive relationship the board has with the staff and the school district”.

Serving Burton ISD: Demetrius Colvin, Sr. - Board President, Jeff Harmel – Board Vice President, Misty Lucherk – Board Secretary, David Warner, Sr. – Board Member, Dean Fuchs- Board Member, and Donna Putnam – Board Member. 

“It’s more important than ever before that communities support public education so that today’s students are prepared to be productive citizens and the leaders of tomorrow. Please take a moment and tell school board members ‘thanks for caring about our children and giving so much to our community.’ Let them know we support them and that their dedicated service is recognized and truly appreciated,” Dr. Kennedy said.

We welcome you to visit one of the finest school districts in the state of Texas and thank you in advance for taking time to find out more about our schools, our professional staff, our exemplary students, and our excellent academic programs. Burton Schools are a perfect place to get an education that will prepare your child for a bright future. 

There is a tremendous amount of community support that goes into the success of our programs in Burton ISD. We appreciate everyone who helps make a positive impact on our schools. All of us working cooperatively make Burton ISD better together. Proud to be a BURTON PANTHER!
