Kevin H. Hoffman
Former HISD Trustee, Board President


Kevin H. Hoffman was elected to the Board of Education in 1999 and reelected in 2003. He was elected by his peers to the position of second vice president for 2000 and first vice president for 2001 and 2002. In 2003 he became the first trustee from District II to serve as President of the Board of Education. Hoffman also served as the board liaison for state and federal legislative matters.

During his tenure, Hoffman established and participated in many educational and community-based programs. In 2001 he created the Barbara Jean Hoffman Memorial Foundation (bjhfoundation.com), a nonprofit organization named in honor of his late mother, which provided over $100,000 in scholarships, and school supplies to thousands of economically disadvantaged children in the Houston area.

As board president in 2003, Hoffman introduced the HISD Board of Education's Monitoring System. This reform-driven board policy is the first of its kind to systematically measure HISD's progress in achieving district goals and core values.
