"Thanks to my fellow Trustees, my view has significantly widened since the day I stood in the middle of hundreds of acres of undeveloped Northside ISD and literally could not see the trees for the forest. Our Board views the District's success by the opportunities provided for all children to succeed. All Northside Trustees share a vision of excellence for all students. We also strive to ensure that our decisions are based on our vision for all students and not on the individual issue or problem. Unlike the limited view I used to have, now as a member of the Northside Board, I can see the forest in spite of the trees."
Bobby Blount was elected to the Board of Trustees in 1999 and is a member of the Academics, Finance, and Technology committees. He also serves as Northside's representative to the Texas Association of School Boards' (TASB) Board of Directors.
