Dallas ISD trustees, who serve three-year terms, are not compensated for their work on the board. They must live within the district they represent.
Trustees establish school policies, create priorities for the district, allocate financial and human resources, and hire the superintendent, among other responsibilities. In the past, the board agreed to change names of schools named after Confederate Army figures, including some in East Dallas.
