School Board Spotlight
June W. Davis, President
When Crowley ISD Board President June Davis first
ran for a seat on the school board more than a dozen
years ago, part of her motivation was to repay CISD for
making a difference in her daughter’s life.
The move to Crowley ISD
in the fourth grade proved
to be a positive one for
her daughter, Alison, who
graduated from Crowley
High School in 2002.

“I wanted to give back to
a district that had given
so much to us — to her,”
Davis said, adding that
she wanted to ensure that
other students would have
the positive experience her
daughter had when she
was in school there.

The Place 4 trustee said she is excited about what’s
ahead for Crowley ISD.
“We are at a real crossroads in terms of opportunities
available to us as a district to take students to the next
level and provide the quality education that we all want
for the students,” she said. “We are in a position now to
really make a difference and do some things differently
than what we’ve done. I am eager to move forward in
realizing the possibilities.”
She considers it an honor to continue to serve the district
and have another opportunity to impact students’ lives.
“That is my career. That is my life,” she said. “I’m
really honored to be in a position to give back in a
different capacity other than where I work and get paid
for it.”

“CISD provided her with the necessary tools to achieve
higher goals,” Davis, a longtime educator, said. “Alison,
too, is currently teaching and has mid-management Alongside Crowley ISD Superintendent Dr. Dan Powell (right), Ms. Davis
certification with aspirations to become a principal.”

A veteran educator for more than 30 years, Davis
currently is the director of special programs in Fort
Worth ISD. She also has taught in Texarkana, Lancaster
and Wichita Falls ISDs and served as a counselor in
Fort Worth.
She has a Bachelor of Science degree in sociology/social
work and a Master of Education degree, both from East
Texas State University, now known as Texas A&M
University - Commerce. She also has mid-management
certification from Region XI Education Service Center.
She was first elected to the Crowley Board of Trustees
in May 2003, serving as secretary from 2005-2007. She
was elected vice president in 2007 and served in that
role until August 2010 when she was elected president.
Davis believes education opens doors for students and
can play an important role in their income-earning
potential, helping break the cycle of poverty.
