SCHOOL BOARD CANDIDATE ACADEMY:
DSISD hosts a School Board Candidate Academy for those who are potentially interested in running in the trustee election. The 2020 academy is scheduled for Wednesday, Feb. 5, at 6 p.m. in the Board Room at the Administration Building. The deadline for submitting a candidate application to be included on the ballot is Feb. 14, 2020.
JANUARY REGULAR BOARD MEETING:
The January regular Board meeting will be held on Thursday, Jan. 30, rather than the traditional fourth Monday of the month. This change was made due to a conflict with a statewide conference that the superintendent and several Board members will be attending.
SAVE THE DATE FOR PRE-K AND KINDERGARTEN REGISTRATION:
The online registration system for Pre-K and Kindergarten for the 2020-21 school year will be open from March 23 through April 3. Following online registration, campuses will be open to accept students' documentation on April 14 from 4 p.m.-7 p.m. and April 16 from 7 a.m.-1 p.m. More details will be posted in the coming weeks.
