Filing starts for spots on Highland Lakes school boards
FROM STAFF REPORTS
While they don’t always get a lot of appreciation, the Highland Lakes public school board members help guide the educational direction of thousands of students. It’s actually a pretty important role in the community.
If you’re interested in serving on your school district’s board of trustees, the filing period for the May election is underway. Filing started Jan. 16 and deadlines at the close of office hours Feb. 15.
