January is School Board Recognition Month and Somerset ISD is celebrating its trustees for their dedication and commitment to the district and its students.
The theme of this year’s School Board Recognition Month is Locally Elected, Community Connected, which highlights the connection between school trustees and their communities. School board members are the largest group of locally-elected officials in the state.
“Our board members are vital. Their dedication, vision, and commitment shape the future of our schools and students,” Dr. Josè H. Moreno said.
Dan Troxell, executive director of the Texas Association of School Boards, applauded the efforts of volunteer trustees in providing leadership and good governance so that school districts can focus on educating the 5.4 million public schoolchildren in their care.
“Texas school boards are so important because they bring a deep understanding of the needs and aspirations of their local communities to their role,” Troxell said. “Boards lead their districts by providing oversight, setting goals, overseeing the budget, and selecting and evaluating the superintendent. These volunteers serve for the betterment of their communities.”
Board members serving Somerset ISD are: Tim Segura, President, Andrea De La Cruz, Vice President, Don Green, Secretary, Michael Lujan, Trustee, Elizabeth Hansen, Trustee, Robert Sanchez, Trustee, Francisco De Luna Jr., Trustee.

Make a Splash 🌊🌊🏄♀️
This summer Somerset ISD is making a splash by providing each and every kindergarten through high school student with a book!
As the school doors closed in early June, students left with books in hand. Students also received activity packs, links to digital resources, and incentives to participate in the SISD Summer Reading Initiative. The materials were selected to encourage students to continue reading, foster a love of the written word, and support continued academic and literacy development.
