Marlin Independent School District has been selected as one of two “Dr. Thomas Randle Demonstration Districts” by the Texas Alliance of Black School Educators (TABSE).  As a demonstration district, Marlin ISD, recognized for their achievement of students in at-risk situations and demonstrated school improvement, will be attending the TABSE 38th Annual State Conference to spotlight their journey of school leadership and student performance. Superintendent Dr. Darryl Henson will give a presentation on replicable strategies and themes of excellence at the Aspiring Superintendent Institute held during the conference.

“Every day, Marlin ISD staff members show up for our students, committed to the craft of educating children,” Henson said. “It is an honor for their work to be recognized.”

In addition to the district honor, Marlin Elementary School is one of four schools in the state selected by TABSE as a “Dr. Jay Cummings Demonstration School.” Marlin ISD administrators will share best practices to school leadership teams at the conference.

The annual conference will be held at Horseshoe Bay Resort in Horseshoe, Texas February 15-17. Marlin ISD will be recognized at the Founder’s Luncheon on Feb. 17.
