Communicating with the Board

The Waxahachie Independent School District Board of Trustees comprises seven members elected in May and serve three-year rotating terms. The Board convenes monthly on the second Monday at the WISD Administration Building, at 411 N. Gibson Street. While meetings are generally held as scheduled, they may be rescheduled due to unforeseen circumstances such as school holidays or adverse weather conditions. Any changes to the meeting schedule will be promptly communicated to the public. The public is both welcome and encouraged to attend meetings.

Before presenting specific concerns or suggestions to the Board, all appropriate channels are to be fully utilized.

Order of Communication

1) Staff Member

2) Campus Administrator

3) Central Office Administrator

4) School Board

The Waxahachie ISD School Board can be contacted only after steps one through three have been completed. The school board may be contacted by requesting a hearing through the superintendent’s office. The Waxahachie ISD Board of Trustees serves as the appellate body for resolving disputes. A school board member may choose to recuse himself or herself at the time of the hearing if he or she had been involved before the hearing.
