If you’re looking for a new home in a great school district, look no further. Lakes of Bella Terra is proud to be in the heart of an award-winning school district that continuously strives for success. We are thrilled to share that for the second time, the Lamar CISD Board of Trustees has been named the 2018 Region 4 Outstanding School Board as part of the Texas Association of School Administrators Annual School Board Awards Program, according to a recent article by Chron.

The Lamar CISD Board of Trustees is also the Region 4 nominee for the 2018 Texas Outstanding School Board and is in the running to be named one of five Texas Honor Boards, one of which will be chosen as the Texas Outstanding School Board. The Texas Outstanding School Board will be announced at the 2018 TASA/TASB Convention, to be held Sept. 28-30.

The Lamar CISD Board of Trustees was recognized for its exemplary level of dedication and commitment to the students and taxpayers in Lamar CISD as well as its positive working relationship between the board members and superintendent.

The board successfully provided examples of documentation and materials that demonstrated its commitment to excellence in each of the program’s 10 judging criteria: functions as a policy-making body; adherence to adopted board policies; support for educational performance in accordance with state-established standards; support for educational improvement projects and school transformation initiatives; commitment to a code of ethics; provision of financial support for the school system; participation in workshops and other performance improvement programs; placement of the welfare of children served by the school system above personal or political motives; public relations efforts, including community awareness; and maintenance of harmonious and supportive relationships among board members.

“Despite the great challenges it has faced, such as enduring Hurricane Harvey and a fast-growing community, the Lamar CISD board has remained steadfast in its commitment to do what is best for children. This is evident in their ethical approach to service and practice of continual improvement,” said Dr. Pam Wells, executive director of Region 4 Education Service Center.
