Como-Pickton CISD Board of Trustees has been named the Texas Association of School Administrators (TASA) School Board of the Year
The Como-Pickton CISD Board of Trustees has been named the Texas Association of School Administrators (TASA) School Board of the Year for Region 8. TASA created the school board awards program in 1971 to recognize school boards whose dedication and ethical service have made a positive impact on the school children of Texas. This year, the Como-Pickton CISD’s School Board has exemplified these traits and worked hard to ensure that the education of its community’s children remained its top priority even as the district overcame obstacles of rebuilding their school after a devastating tornado. Como-Pickton Board President, DJ Carr, noted that he was humbled by the honor. He praised the school district’s teachers, staff, and administrators for always keeping the children as their top priority. He voiced pride in working with such dedicated and passionate board members, and he thanked them for the countless hours of hard work they put into the district to make it the best for the Como and Pickton communities. This isn’t the first time the Como-Pickton School Board has been honored. In 2021, they were named School Board of the Year for the State of Texas by the Texas Rural Educators Association. Their hard work over the last few years has established Como-Pickton CISD as one of the finest schools in the area and one in which their two communities can be proud.
