ADDRESSING THE BOARD
Matters From the Floor is the time provided during regular board meetings for citizens to address the Board on any issue or concern they may have. Topics may not include the character of any student, staff or Board member.
Each person who signs up to speak prior to the meeting can address the Board one time for no more than three minutes. This time may be adjusted based on the number of people speaking. Following the citizen’s presentation, board members cannot respond to issues or concerns that were not listed on the agenda, but they may vote to put an issue on a future agenda or to have the administration follow up.
If a person has signed up to address a specific item on the agenda, the Board will call them forward when that agenda item is being discussed.

ABOUT YOUR BOARD
North East ISD is governed by a seven-member school board elected by its residents. Each trustee represents a single member district in which they reside and serve a four-year term.
BOARD PRIORITIES
The North East ISD Board of Trustees developed a Balanced District Scorecard to define key priorities related to students, staff, stakeholders, and stewardship. Public input was gathered through a survey and numerous focus group sessions. It has become the vision for education in NEISD. These are our four priorities.
Students: We support students in a multitude of ways to nurture their learning.
Staff: We value our employees and invest in their growth.
Stakeholders: We collaborate with students, families and community members to support learning.
Stewardship: We plan and manage funds and resources responsibly.
