18 SBOE Districts

Texas is divided into 18 geographic areas called Districts. Each district elects one person to serve a four year term. The elections are partisan requiring Republican and Democratic candidates to run in their own primary held on the first Tuesday in March.

Showing Up & Speaking Out

"For District 10, we endorse Republican Rebecca Osborne, a teacher in the Round Rock school district. It would be a refreshing change to have someone on the board who could give a contemporary classroom perspective. In addition to college preparation, she wants schools to offer career and vocational instruction for students who decide to go directly to jobs after high school."  2010 Statesman Endorsement

Osborne to run for Open SBOE Seat
Osborne, . . . said she would bring a “practical, common sense teacher’s voice to the State Board of Education.

“Having taught over 5,000 students, I am well aware that all children are not the same, and they don’t need the same solutions,” Osborne said. “Our curriculum must be relevant and rigorous while upholding our conservative values. Local control and accountability are fundamental to the success of our schools.” American Statesman
