Colorado ISD Board of Trustees Named 2025 Texas Outstanding School Board

TASA has named the Colorado ISD Board of Trustees the 2025 Outstanding School Board — the top honor in the TASA School Board Awards program, which has honored Texas school boards that have demonstrated commitment to their students and to their communities since 1971. The Colorado ISD school board was chosen from among five finalists interviewed by a committee of Texas school administrators. The committee was impressed by how board members have focused on opportunities to break the cycle of poverty in their community by offering high-quality career and technical education (CTE) programs to students in their district.
