A Word from Our Members
 Tommy Hooker | Thrall ISD |
“TACS is an established organization with a great reputation for community school districts and is a great networking opportunity for districts of all sizes!” |
| Bryan Allen | Clyde ISD |
“I could go on and on about the benefits of TACS. The legislative updates and reports from other meetings in Austin that TACS provides are invaluable to rural districts. Being 3.5 hours away from Austin, I can’t always ‘be there,’ but I feel like we are, because TACS is there representing us and reporting items of interest. I also really enjoy the camaraderie and networking opportunities with other superintendents from around the state.” |

“I belong to TACS becase… I could not do my job effectively as a superintendent without them. From deciphering the Commissioner’s superintendent calls to board training and conferences, they provide the information I need. And nobody keeps up with all that goes on at the Capitol better!” |
