Board of Trustees

Duties of the Board

The Board of Trustees consists of seven board members elected to serve, without compensation, for overlapping terms of three years each. The Board is charged with the responsibility of providing the finest educational program possible for the students in the Pine Tree Independent School District, operating within the legal parameters of the state and federal constitutions, statutes, courts, and administrative agencies.

Elections are conducted annually in May. While candidates run for specific places, they do not represent specific geographical areas; rather, each represents PTISD at large. Following the annual election, the Board selects a president, vice-president and secretary to serve one-year terms.

Date and Time of Meetings

The regular business meetings of the Board of Trustees are open to the public and are usually scheduled for 5:45 p.m. on the second Monday of each month. Call 903-295-5000 to confirm.

All meetings follow the guidelines of open government as determined by the Office of the Attorney General of Texas.

Location

School Board meetings are held in the board room in the Pine Tree Administration Building which is located at 1701 Pine Tree Road.

Mission

The Pine Tree family champions the relentless pursuit of excellence through a compassionate and safe learning environment empowering all students to develop their unique passions and to make a positive impact in a global society.
