When my husband and I chose to put down roots here, we did what so many families do - we looked at the schools first. This community and this district are where our children are growing up. I've sat at the kitchen table helping with homework, cheered from the sidelines and auditorium seats, volunteered in classrooms, and had the conversations every parent has about what's working in our schools and what could be better. I'm not running for school board as an outsider with theories. I'm running as a mom with kids in our schools. I see both their promise and their challenges up close, and I have been involved and engaged with the district since 2015.

Current Professional Position

I grew up in India in a home where education wasn't just valued - it was the chosen family profession. My grandfather and both parents were professors, and our house was always full of books, students dropping by with questions, and dinner-table debates that ran long past dessert. I learned early that a good teacher doesn't just deliver answers; they teach you how to think. That belief has shaped every chapter of my life since.

Meghna Roy grew up in India. She earned a bachelor's degree in electronics and communication engineering from Rajiv Gandhi Prodyogiki Vishwavidyalaya in India and a Master of Business Administration from the University of Texas at Austin. Meghna has lived in the Austin area since 2007 with her husband and children.

- A trustee is an elected member of a local school board who helps govern a public school district.

- Trustees represent community interests and are responsible for setting policies that guide how the school district operates.

- The board of trustees hires and evaluates the superintendent, who manages the day-to-day operations of the district.

- Trustees approve the district’s budget, monitor spending, and may set the local tax rate or call for bond elections to fund schools.

- The board also oversees educational programs, district goals, and overall performance.

- In Texas, trustees are elected to four-year terms, often on a rotating basis, so not all seats are elected at the same time.

- Trustees serve without financial compensation.
