Communicating with the Board

The Waxahachie ISD Board of Trustees is comprised of seven members who are elected in May and serve three-year rotating terms. The Waxahachie ISD School Board meets in the WISD Administration Building at 411 N. Gibson Street on the second Monday of each month. As circumstances arise (school holidays, weather, etc.), meetings may occasionally be rescheduled, but notice will be given to the public in a timely manner. The public is welcome and encouraged to attend meetings.

In matters of specific complaints, concerns, and suggestions, all appropriate channels need to be exhausted before addressing them to the Board.

The Waxahachie ISD School Board can be contacted only after steps one through three have been completed. The school board may be contacted by requesting a hearing through the superintendent’s office.

A school board member may choose to recuse himself or herself at the time of the hearing if he or she has been involved prior to the hearing.
