DRIPPING SPRINGS -- DSISD Board candidates can now apply for a place on the May 2021 ballot. Applications can be filed at the administration building at 510 W. Mercer Street until 5 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 12.
Interim superintendent Brett Springston will conduct a "candidates academy" on Feb. 3 to share information about the roles and responsibilities of Board members, along with answering questions.
