Dallas, TX – August 24, 2024 – Texans Can Academies recently hosted a highly successful Community Board Event led by Board President Dr. Matherson, with participation from hundreds of stakeholders across Texas. The event took place simultaneously at all Texans Can Academies campuses, drawing in parents, staff, students, board members, and community partners to engage in meaningful discussions centered on the future of the academies and the success of their students.
