What Does The School Board Do?
It oversees the district management and evaluates the performance of the superintendent. All powers and duties not delegated by state law to the Texas Education Agency (TEA) or State Board of Education (SBOE) are reserved for Trustees. Trustees are frequently tasked with outlining the vision, structure, accountability, advocacy, and unity for educational programs and services. LISD has seven Trustees.
A Commitment to Limitless Learning
I am excited to run for re-election to the LISD Board of Trustees. My education, EXPERIENCE, and passion has more than prepared me to serve. Send the CPA back to the board.
PLEASE VOTE SHEILA TAYLOR LISD BOARD PLACE 7.
The above pillars remain my areas of focus. Education is best handled by those who are qualified in that role, but we need to collaborate on all sides. Sometimes, new energy and fresh ideas are needed to bring about innovation. I would continue look at our board processes and how we do things to determine if there is a better way. Are we aligning our student programs with how the world is changing - continuing to grow STEM but not leaving behind arts, music, trades? We need to be focused on a better future for and the academic achievement of all of our students. I am laser-focused on leadership and education - learning is limitless and always happening -- as well as making us more competitive so we win back many of the students who have left us for other options.

The IRS has said good board governance includes at least ONE financial expert on a board. I serve in that role for the board. With my background, I can continue to help us focus on fiscal responsibility, ensuring your investment in our children's futures yields the best returns.
I will continue to advocate for public education and every child. And I cannot forget about our teachers -- they need our support more than ever. I will continue to be a strong voice and advocate for our students, teachers, our community and our amazing district.
