Burkburnett ISD

The Burkburnett ISD School Board approved our 2024-25 School Calendar last night at the board meeting. The calendar has also been posted on the BISD website. It's always a great day to be a Bulldog!

Please join BISD in celebrating our amazing School Board. We will recognize them tonight at our regular Board meeting at 7:00 pm. Collectively, our Board has 70 years of combined service to BISD and the Community of Burkburnett. Five of our Board members have gone above and beyond and have completed the training required to become a Master Trustee. Being a School Board member is oftentimes a thankless position, but we truly value the dedication and commitment our Board has shown over the years. They are Bulldogs through and through and exemplify The Bulldog Way! We say "Thank You" to Board President and Master Trustee Keith Myers, Board Vice President and Master Trustee Robin Bachert, Board Secretary and Master Trustee Les Healton, Board Member and Master Trustee Terry Klipp, Board Member and Master Trustee Frank Andrajack, Board Member Doug Smith, and Board Member Jimmy Beeson.

Join Dr. Owen live in the new year, January 9th at 6 PM. As a way to continue to provide opportunities for our community to provide feedback to our school district and superintendent, we will be hosting periodic town hall meetings through Facebook Live. Please keep all questions focused on policies, processes, or facilities at the district or campus level. Dr. Owen will not be answering any questions about specific personnel or student situations. Dr. Owen will give a district update and then answer your submitted questions. Dr. Owen will end the town hall with a live Q & A that will allow you to ask questions in real-time. We hope you will take the time to join in on these town halls and we hope you find the information and format beneficial.
