Lackland ISD strongly desires parent engagement. You have an opportunity to share your voice and help us actualize our vision to ignite a passion for life-long learning and empower excellence. As you engage as a parent, we also invite your participation in campus and district-level committees. Below are the descriptions for these committees for your consideration. If you have additional questions, each committee’s point of contact is listed with the committee description.

The School Health Advisory Council (SHAC) assists the district in ensuring that local community values are reflected in the health education program. The council will address the continued implementation of a coordinated health program, including health education, physical education, health services, nutrition services, counseling, a healthy school environment, staff health promotion, and family/community involvement. This committee must have more parent representation than district staff representation. The SHAC meets at least four times during the school year. Two meetings occur after-school, and two meetings occur during the school day. 

Point of Contact: Dr. Tonya Hyde, hyde.t@lacklandisd.net

The District Education Improvement Council (DEIC) is a district-level committee responsible for providing input to the annual development of the District Improvement Plan. This plan comprises the district’s goals and objectives for continuous improvement in special programs, professional development, student achievement, and student safety. This committee is also designated to provide recommendations to Texas Education Agency waiver requests and other items of local governance to be addressed by a district-level committee before Board of Trustee approval.

Point of Contact: Dr. Burnie Roper, roper.b@lacklandisd.net

The Campus Education Improvement Council (CEIC) is a campus-level committee responsible for providing input to the annual development of the Campus Improvement Plan. This plan comprises the campus’s goals and objectives for continuous improvement in special programs, professional development, student achievement, and student safety.

The District Calendar Committee assists the district in the development of the school calendar. Lackland ISD’s District Calendar Committee will develop the calendar for the 2027-2028 school year for board approval. The committee also makes any necessary recommendations for the previously board-approved 2026-2027 school calendar based on new information. The District Calendar Committee meets after school during the spring semester. Following the initial meeting to design the calendar, the committee may have additional meetings to consider stakeholder feedback and finalize the calendar for the District Education Improvement Council and the Board of Trustees.

I grew up in Los Gatos, California. My Dad was in the Marines for a while, so we did move around a bit. I went to school at Alta Vista Elementary and Leigh High School in California. Living there grew my love for the beach!

I am a Horned Frog from Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, Texas

where I studied elementary education. I traveled to Texas for college, and I have mostly lived here ever since. I graduated from Texas Woman's University in 2015 with my Master's degree in Library Science. Books have always been a passion of mine, so this path just made sense.

Teaching has been my focus for many years. I started in Fort Worth at Lily

B. Clayton Elementary. When my husband worked at NASA in Virginia, I taught in Williamsburg at Norge Elementary. Recently, I was the librarian at Van Raub Elementary in Boerne and Las Lomas Elementary in the Stone Oak area of San Antonio. I have always loved school! My mom was a teacher, and I followed her lead...

Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom is one of my favorite books. But I also love One and Only Ivan by Katherine Applegate and All the Places to Love by Paticia MacLachlan. My favorite genre would be realistic fiction because I like to read about people and their relationships.

I love working in the library and helping students and teachers find books

that make them happy! Connection is everything to me!

At my first school in College Station, Texas, I loved the library and the

librarian! Patricia was a delight and helped others all day every day. At

Southwood Valley Elementary, I realized that I wanted to be a librarian and help people conduct research and find books to enjoy!

Little Houses by Kevin Henkes is a wonderful book about a trip to the

beach. Spending a day at the beach walking on the shore and putting my toes in the sand is my favorite! I would probably live in the pages of this book or another beach trip adventure story.

My husband calls me Ms. Frizzle from the Magic School Bus book

collection. I like adventures and being outside, so Ms. Frizzle is probably a

character that I am able to relate to. She also loves teaching and helping others learn new things. That would be me!

In my free time, you will probably find me outside hiking, kayaking, or

swimming. My dogs, Kona and Marley, and my husband Kelly like to join in these activities, too. When I need to rest, you will catch me reading a good book or watching a movie or a sunset.

I hope to teach students how to find a good fit book and how to locate

material for research. In this world, there is a plethora of information. Learning to navigate the flow and find what is interesting to you is an important skill.

For middle school students, I would recommend A Light in the Dark by Christina Soontornvat for an adventure, or Refugee by Alan Gratz to learn about kids from other places and their experiences. One more book...Echo by Pam Munoz Ryan is a taste of history, a little fantasy, and an exciting tale. There are some amazing books out there! Let's find one that makes you smile!

This week, the counselors had the honor of celebrating both our students and staff with the Eagle Excellence Award (for students) and the Golden Eagle Award (for staff). Each month, nominees are recognized for showing the character trait of the month—August’s focus was Respect and Friendliness.

We were thrilled to receive 8 student submissions across multiple grade levels and 7 staff and teacher nominations. Our Golden Eagle winners this month were Dr. Crawford and Mrs. Mccray!

Every nominee received a certificate with the kind words from their nomination printed on the back, and student winners also received a small prize. We are so proud of all our students and staff who continue to make our school a respectful, friendly, and encouraging place to be!
