DRIPPING SPRINGS – Dripping Springs ISD (DSISD) school board member Rob McClelland is one of eight people recently appointed to the Texas School Safety Center (TxSSC) Board of Directors. Located at Texas State University, it provides training, research and resources to every school district across the state.
Raised in Edinburg, Texas, McClelland went through the state's school system himself; he graduated from Edinburg North High School and went on to study at Texas A&M University, where he joined the Corps of Cadets. Then, during his sophomore year, the 9/11 terrorist attacks occurred and McClelland made the decision to join the U.S. Army, where he served for 12 years and achieved the rank of Major.
Elected in 2022, McClelland now serves the Dripping Springs community as a member of the DSISD Board of Trustees. In late 2024, McClelland was appointed by the Governor of Texas to serve on the TxSSC Board of Directors.
