10.h. APPROVAL OF THE DESIGNATION OF THE OFFICIAL VOTING DELEGATE AND ALTERNATE FOR THE 2026 TASB GENERAL DELEGATE ASSEMBLY: Speaker(s): Dr. Gregory Nelson, Superintendent Description: The Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) Delegate Assembly is the annual meeting where representatives from member districts consider resolutions, adopt policy positions, and elect officers. Each member district is entitled to one official voting delegate and may also appoint an alternate to serve in the delegate’s absence. This item provides the Board with an opportunity to discuss and determine which members will represent the district at the 2026 Delegate Assembly. Selection should consider availability, interest, and the ability to represent the district’s priorities effectively. In order to participate in the governance process of TASB, the Board must formally designate one member to serve as the official voting delegate and another member to serve as the alternate delegate for the 2026 Delegate Assembly. This designation ensures the district’s representation and voting rights are maintained at the state level. Once selected, the Superintendent will share the Delegate Handbook with the selected delegates.
