Description

Join us to learn about non-profit school board opportunities that are currently open! We are excited to share that we are supporting the launch of three new equitable school models in San Antonio that are applying for approval through the Texas Education Agency. Superintendents are looking for strong leaders to support in the launch of their proposed schools. Please join us for a happy hour meet and greet on Tuesday, October 19th from 5 to 6:30 pm at the Friendly Spot. Brief overviews of the schools are listed below as well as skills/characteristics of board members they are looking for. Feel free to reach out to them directly in case you can't make it in person. Celebrate Dyslexia Schools will serve dyslexic students grades 4-8, providing every student with the intervention prescriptive to their needs so that the effect of the intervention can resonate in the rest of the school day and work. Students will have the opportunity to learn about our community, its needs, demonstrative service and concrete opportunities for work in the future. Teachers serving on the campus will be trained in dyslexia and understand the social emotional aspects of learning with dyslexia so that each student will be in a risk safe environment. We are looking for 3 additional founding board members reflecting the diversity of our city with experience in finance, school operations, as well as legal affairs.
