Austin— Five Texas high school seniors were selected to receive scholarships and be included in the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) Student Voice Panel March 1 at Governance Camp in Galveston. Each student will receive $1,500 from sponsor Walsh Gallegos Kyle Robinson & Roalson P.C.
During the panel discussion, the scholarship recipients will share their public school experiences with school board members and administrators from across the state. TASB’s annual event, Governance Camp, provides training to board members on leadership and good governance. The event highlights student voice, not only with the scholarship panel, but with sessions presented or co-presented by students and an expo where students exhibit their hands-on creations or projects. This unique opportunity allows school leaders to hear directly from Texas students about the challenges and aspirations that shape their education.
“We are grateful for the support of Walsh Gallegos in sponsoring this scholarship and panel,” said TASB Executive Director Dan Troxell. “It’s designed to empower students by giving them an opportunity to share their voices with school board members. Governance Camp provides a platform for mutual learning and meaningful conversation,” he said.
Paula Maddox Roalson, the moderator of the Student Voice Scholarship Panel and an attorney/shareholder at Walsh Gallegos, says the event is empowering for students and enlightening for adults. “This forum offers students the opportunity to lend their voices to the exchange of ideas on fundamental issues impacting public education.”
“Students not only contribute to the discussion, when they are heard, they also influence educational experiences for future students,” she said. “I am proud to be part of this project, and I am proud that our law firm is able to partner with TASB to spotlight student voices because, to me, I believe this is one of the most important things that we do.”
This year’s scholarship winners were selected based on their individual stories, contributions to their community, and their use of “student voice” to improve their schools. They are:
TASB’s Governance Camp will take place Feb. 28-March 2.
TASB is a nonprofit organization established in 1949 to serve local Texas school boards. School board members are the largest group of publicly elected officials in the state. The districts they represent serve more than 5.4 million public school students.
