COMMUNITY Relations Providing the best education possible to Mansfield ISD students is a collaborative effort, and the district values its positive relationships with its community. MISD also offers opportunities for the community to engage in various programs and learning activities. Partners in Education Partners in Education is Mansfield ISD’s new program to encourage community engagement in the school district. It helps recruit volunteers, community partners and mentors to the district while aligning existing partnerships between campuses and the community under one uniform program. Adult Education Courses MISD’s Adult Education Program was launched in February 2015 to serve the community by promoting lifelong learning. The classes offered in the program are affordable, fun and encourage personal growth. Courses offered cover topics such as culinary arts, technology, graphic design, construction, automotive repair, law enforcement and much more. Leadership MISD Each year, the district invites approximately 50 parents and community members to complete a comprehensive program called Leadership MISD. Classes consist of in-depth sessions focusing on a different area of district departments and operations.
