LEAGUE CITY—Clear Creek ISD Board of Trustee Member Joanna Baleson has been elected as a Director of the Gulf Coast Area Association of School Boards (GCAASB) for the 2006-2007 school year.

The GCAASB is a voluntary organization composed of more than 50 school boards in the greater Houston area to enhance the quality of education for public school children in the Texas Gulf Coast area by providing education and information to local school boards, and creating an opportunity for local school boards to impact legislation affecting the public schools.

The dues paid by GCAASB member school boards and associate members, who are supporters of public education, provide state-required training for local trustees at quarterly meetings, produce a regular newsletter and support educational excellence at the local school level through a scholarship program.

“The experience that Mrs. Baleson has gained on her local Board of Trustees will benefit all of the students, staffs and schools in the Gulf Coast Area Association as it is combined on the Executive Board with the experience of trustees from 14 other school districts,” said GCAASB Executive Secretary Jerry Smith. “That leadership will be meaningful.”

Local trustees serving as 2006-2007officers of the Gulf Coast Area Association of School Boards include President Wayne Schaper of Spring Branch ISD, First Vice President Marshall Kendrick of Pasadena ISD, Second Vice President Pete Vincent of Alvin ISD, Secretary/Treasurer Earl Boykin of Crosby ISD and Past President Sara Winkler of Alief.

Local Trustees serving as 2006-2007 GCAASB Directors include Marine Jones of Aldine ISD, Clint Fancher of Anahuac ISD, Joanna Baleson of Clear Creek ISD, Cruz Hinojosa of Galena Park ISD and Manuel Rodriguez of Houston ISD.

Also serving as GCAASB Directors are Joe Adams of Katy ISD, Mary Lou Dujka of Lamar Consolidated ISD, Maxine Lane-Seals of North Forest ISD, Ron Crier of Spring ISD and Kathy Hanson of Tomball ISD.
