Ambassador Program

The Purpose

The purpose of the New Braunfels Independent School District Ambassador Program is to gain a deeper understanding of the day-to-day operations of the school district. Individuals who complete this program become NBISD ambassadors in the community, which leads to better communication and understanding of the New Braunfels Independent School District. This program includes information on leadership, communications, strategic direction, educational programs, student services, technology, human resources, facilities, operations and school finance.


Ambassadors will be prepared to become district advocates and help educate the community on lesser known aspects of how public schools function and operate as well as providing information on the unique needs of a fast-growing district and share accomplishments and positive news about the campuses.

  • WHEN AND FROM WHERE DID THE IDEA FOR AN NBISD AMBASSADOR PROGRAM ORIGINATE?

     

    The idea has been discussed during the past few school years and was officially requested by two board members after attending a session on a successful ambassador program in another school district.  

     

    WHAT DOES THE DISTRICT HOPE TO GET OUT OF THE PROGRAM?

    NBISD sees the ambassador program as a positive outlet for community members to get an inside look into how NBISD operates, how students are learning, what challenges we are facing and how to get involved. 

     

    WHEN IS THE PROGRAM EXPECTED TO BEGIN? 

    The nomination process will open in November 2018 for our parents, community members and business owners to self-nominate. The intent is to hold the first session in January 2019 and end with a graduation in June 2019. 

     

    HOW LARGE IS THE FIRST CLASS EXPECTED TO BE?

    The plan is to select a group of 25 with five members from each of the five single-member districts that make up the school district.
