(Austin) –The Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) is pleased to announce that Walsh, Anderson, Brown, Gallegos and Green, P.C., has joined TASB as its initial partner in the Association’s newly created TASB Partners program. The program was established earlier this year to create partnerships that result in collaborative projects to support public education in Texas.
"The TASB Partners initiative provides a way for members of the business community to engage with us in projects to benefit public schools, students, and the leadership of Texas school districts," said James B. Crow, TASB executive director.
"Walsh Anderson is a highly respected member of the legal community and has been a strong advocate for public education for many years. We are delighted that they have responded to our call for active partners at a time when Texas schools are working hard to preserve and extend recent gains in the midst of financial difficulty," Crow said.
Oscar G. Treviño, managing shareholder of Walsh Anderson, agreed that these are challenging times for public schools and noted that the firm’s attorneys are enthusiastic about the prospects opened by the partnership.
"We are honored to be the first TASB partner. The firm sees this as an opportunity to give something back by getting directly involved in efforts to benefit public schools. The fact that every school district in the state is a member of the association means our efforts will have real impact," Treviño said.
Note: The firm's name has changed since the date of this release.
