DALLAS—Dallas Independent School District trustee Ron Price has been named Outstanding School Board Member of the Year 2004 by the Texas Alliance of Black School Educators in recognition of his "dedication and support for the organization and the children of Texas."
The award was presented at the organization's 20th annual conference February 18 in Beaumont, Texas.
Price's work locally and statewide also was recognized by the National Sorority of Phi Delta Kappa Inc., Alpha Rho Chapter of Dallas at their Feb. 19 meeting. The award honors an individual in the community who has shown leadership in the area of civil rights, education and legislative affairs.
The Metropolitan Dallas Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc. will recognize Price at the organization's Crimson and Cream Affair March 19 in Dallas. The award recognizes Price's active participation in the area of educational development and his "commitment to enhancing the education students receive in Dallas public schools." The ceremony will be held at the Westin City Center Hotel.
Price represents District 9-South Dallas and was first elected to the Board of Trustees in May 1997. He was the first district employee to win a board seat while still an employee of the district, and was the youngest person to be elected to the Texas Association of School Boards.
