Governor Rick Perry has proclaimed January School Board Recognition Month and Waller ISD (WISD) is joining other districts across the state to gratefully acknowledge local trustees’ unfailing commitment to our communities and schools. Waller ISD’s Board of Trustees was honored during its regular meeting Jan. 14.  Each member received a gift bag presented by WISD campus principals. Art work and posters, prepared by students district-wide to thank the Board for their hard work, were also hung on the walls of the Board Room for the Board to enjoy.
