Superintendent's Letter

What a great time to be a Burton Panther!!!

Today is a school holiday as we recognize the life of Martin Luther King, Jr. This day commemorates the work of Dr. King, who was a Baptist minister and prominent leader in the American civil rights movement. He was a chief spokesperson for nonviolent activism in the Civil Rights Movement, which protested racial discrimination in federal and state law. 

As the weather is changing rapidly towards very chilling temperatures and potentially freezing precipitation, please take extra precautions to make it a priority to stay warm and be safe. 

Burton ISD Building Project Update: We have turf on the football field! It’s looking great. Chemical Injections have been performed on the area for the high school classrooms and gym. Select fill is being hauled in and packed into place. Multiple water lines, smaller storm drainage, sewer and gas, electrical, and other utility systems are being installed. 

Burton ISD continues to host on-site daily and weekly meetings with contractors and suppliers to identify and discuss the building project progress. 

Burton ISD welcomes your involvement, appreciates everyone’s effort to collaborate, and is thankful for your support throughout the Facilities Construction Project process. Please email questions to bondinfo@stu.burtonisd.net.

Please feel free to come visit Burton Independent School District and thank you in advance for taking the time to find out more about our schools, our professional staff, our exemplary students, and our excellent academic programs. Burton Schools is a perfect place to get an education that will prepare your child for a bright future. 

There is a tremendous amount of community support that goes into the success of our programs in Burton ISD. We appreciate everyone who helps make a positive impact on our schools. All of us working cooperatively make Burton ISD better together. So very proud to be a BURTON PANTHER! 

Lots of great things going on this school year. Follow all of our activities on the Burton ISD website @ www.burtonisd.net, check out the Burton ISD app, and keep up with the latest happenings on the Burton ISD Facebook page and other social media venues. 

The pride of the Burton Panthers is embedded in all of us whether we are a student, an alumni, a community member, a staff member and employee, a parent, board member and/or a proud supporter and in many cases all of the above. We love our Panthers and like to think that the culture we are providing in educating our students is a reason why parents want their children to attend Burton ISD. We value our school district and always put students first. For the 2023-2024 school year, Learning is Llamazing as we Rise Up @ Burton ISD!!!  Have a blessed day and GO BIG RED!!!
