    BOARD HIGHLIGHTS

     

    **Important information:

    SFTXEF Annual Gala's date was changed to April 6, 2021 due to extensive property damage incurred by the community during the winter storm the week of February 15, 2021.

    The District received the proclamation for Texas Public Schools week during the winter storm school closure and therefore, we were not able to include it on the agenda.  SFISD will celebrate Texas Public Schools Week March 1-5, 2021.
