BMSN Students Led The Pledges
Thank you to Boerne Middle School North Student Council for leading the Pledge of Allegiance and the Texas Pledge.
They also had great questions for our Board members!
Instructional Materials
The Board voted to accept the textbook and instructional materials recommendations by the adoption committee.
Final recommendations regarding materials were made by the committees, which met several times for material reviews, collaborative discussions, and reviews of bundled pricing packages. All campuses had representation on each committee, and materials being recommended are aligned with state standards and our district’s programs.
To view the list of publishers please see below. To view the entire presentation please see the agenda here.
Compensation Resolution
The Board approved a resolution granting the Superintendent to authorize compensation of permanent part-time and full-time auxiliary employees for the workday missed due to the closure of the school district during the upcoming Solar Eclipse on April 8.
