Troy ISD Board of Trustees

Troy ISD Board of Trustees

The seven members of the Troy ISD Board of Trustees are the district’s policy-making body.
The board works closely with the superintendent and administrative staff to determine the direction of the school district.
The board’s focus is on the education and well-being of all students in Troy ISD. 
The board’s seven trustees serve three-year terms.
Elections are held annually as the terms of the members are staggered so that at least two positions are up for election each year.
Elections are held in May on the uniform election date.  

As elected representatives of our community, we are committed to making informed decisions that shape the future of our schools. Our responsibilities include:

  •  Hiring and evaluating the superintendent
  • Approving the district’s budget and associated tax rates
  • Working with the superintendent to adopt policy

Our mission is to support every student in reaching their full potential by prioritizing safety, equity, and excellence in all our decisions. We invite you to explore our initiatives, participate in our meetings, and join us in our dedication to student success and safety.
