Falcon Happenings
Great things are happening at Royal!
Greetings Falcons!
It's a great day to be a Falcon! The undefeated (5-0) Royal varsity football team continued its winning streak with a 13-10 win over Sealy. We look forward to watching them win in next Friday's matchup in Bellville. The new scoreboard was unveiled. The scoreboard was 100% funded by four generous businesses: Hemi Hideout, HDH Instruments, Brazos Valley Schools Credit Union, and Grundfos. Royal ISD thanks them for their commitment to Royal and to Royal athletics and for their continued support. We were honored to be featured as ABC13's Game of the Week. Joe Gleason joined us to provide pre- and post-game interviews as well as game coverage. Follow Joe on Twitter @joegleason to view his coverage of the Falcon victory.

Royal ISD encourages citizens to do their research and VOTE.
Resources:
- Learn about School Board Roles and Responsibilities. What do school boards do? What don't they do? How do they partner with the district superintendent to ensure success as Royal "invests in our tomorrow"? The Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) provides a wealth of resources about school boards.
- Using your new knowledge about the role of school board trustees, visit the candidate's campaign pages on social media. Learn about each candidate, ask questions about their vision for Royal, and ask how they envision implementing their visions within the framework of established school board roles and responsibilities.
