Any Texas superintendent of schools who is a member of TASA and who has been serving in his/her current position since at least July 1, 2023, other than the TASA president at the time the awards will be made, may nominate his/her board of trustees for the 2025 School Board Awards by collecting and submitting data supportive of the criteria.

The 2025 awards will recognize the work of school boards during the 2024-25 school year, so board members included in the nomination should be those who served on the board during the bulk of the 2024-25 academic year, even if there is a change in board membership at the end of the school year.

No board may repeat as an Outstanding Board or Honor Board more often than once every five years. (A board named as the Outstanding Board or as an Honor Board in 2021 or later is not eligible to be nominated in 2025.)
