A registered nurse, Mrs. Clarke is on the Board of the Children's Protective Services of Fort Bend County, serving as treasurer. She is also a founding member and treasurer of the organization's Rainbow Room. TASB was established in 1949 to serve local Texas school districts.
School trustees are the largest group of publicly elected officials in the state.
The role of the Board of Trustees is to establish the broad policies that guide the entire district and to make sure that those policies are implemented. Patrons who have concerns about an individual student or an individual school or teacher should follow the district procedures for addressing their concerns first, before speaking to the Board about them in a public forum. In addition, if any patron is involved in litigation or pending litigation against the district, it is appropriate for that patron to speak during the Audience Items portion of this meeting. Since the Board must make the final decisions in the district's complaint process and grievance process, it is inappropriate to bring those issues before the Board prior to the time that the Board may later be asked to make impartial judgments on the issue.
