DALLAS— The Dallas ISD Board of Trustees recently recognized outstanding school district partners and volunteers for their support to schools in the 2013-2014 school year, as well as various schools and students at the monthly board meeting in April. Members of the audience joined in to say thanks and recognize the award winners who are helping Dallas ISD meet the Destination 2020 goals.
Volunteers and partner groups annually contribute thousands of hours of time and numerous in-kind donations and financial resources to help schools extend learning experiences for students. This year, the Office of Volunteer and Partnership Services received more nominations than ever before from more than 100 schools across the district.
Nominated by George W. Truett Elementary School, David Walker received the Superintendent’s Award for Outstanding Elementary Volunteer. Known as a tireless advocate for volunteerism, Mr. Walker knows that engaging the community stakeholders is key to success. He continuously works to build relationships and bring in additional volunteers to benefit the school.
