Shaping Jarrell’s Future Jarrell ISD Board of Trustees Welcomes Jennifer Gadison

by Charlotte Kovalchuk

A SERVANT'S HEART

Jennifer’s commitment to service extends beyond the school district. At Upwards Church, she has been involved in various community events hosted by the church and its partners throughout Jarrell. “I have a servant’s heart, and serving the community brings me great joy. My family and I feel very blessed that we are given opportunities at these various events, to serve and take part in bringing the community together.”

As Jarrell ISD continues to grow, she is looking forward to being part of a team that plays an instrumental role in shaping the direction of the school district. “We have a terrific team of educators. Together, we can continue building a strong foundation that supports the students and Jarrell ISD. I am excited to see what the future holds for the school district.”

Jennifer Gadison’s new role as a school board trustee for Jarrell

ISD marks a new chapter in her ongoing commitment to community service and education. Having moved to Jarrell in 2013 after her husband retired from the military, she has seen three of her four children graduate from Jarrell High School; her youngest will be a junior next year. With her family rooted in Jarrell for more than a decade, she is excited for the chance to continue giving back to her community.

“Joining the Board of Trustees for JISD allows me the opportunity to serve our community, support our amazing school district, and make a difference.”

Jennifer was appointed to Place 3 on the school board in April, representing parts of Sonterra along the east side of I-35 near Jarrell Elementary School. The school board consists of seven members who serve threeyear terms and have various duties to meet the needs of the school district, including deciding district priorities, policies, personnel, textbooks, expenditures, and growth management.
