DRIVING STUDENT OUTCOMES FROM THE TOP

Lone Star Governance

About Lone Star Governance

Lone Star Governance (LSG) guides the board of trustees to focus their work around improving student outcomes of their schools. We are proud to have been one of the first school districts to participate in San Antonio. This Texas Education Agency initiative is founded on research and is a best practice model for boards of trustees and superintendents. The model’s framework centers on five points: Vision, Accountability, Structure, Unity, and Advocacy.
