Our School Board


  • Coldspring-Oakhurst Consolidated ISD is governed by a seven-member Board of Trustees. Each member is elected to an at-large position for three years in a non-partisan election. An election is held each year for either two or three positions. Board members, like the administrative staff and teachers, are here to serve you to the best of their ability.

    The Board of Trustees conducts all business in open meetings. Matters relating to personnel, student conduct, school security, pending litigation, and land acquisitions may be discussed privately. However, the final vote is taken in the open meeting. This procedure is in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas concerning school board meetings.

    The COCISD Board of Trustees holds regular meetings at the Jones Educational Complex on the fourth Monday of each month at 6:30 p.m. Meeting times and locations are subject to change. Changes will be posted as they become available. To view the current agenda, click HERE.
