Diana Folmar, city court clerk, has filed to run for a Bullard Independent School District school board seat.

Folmar filed for the Place 4 spot held by Paul Stone.

"One of the reasons I want to get involved is because I have kids in school system," she said. "I have a strong desire and commitment to see that Bullard continues to provide the highest quality public education. After all, it's the taxpayers who support the school system."

Folmar said she is not looking to replace anyone currently on the school board and believes she can do as good of a job as anyone she would run against.

"As a board member, a person needs to be a team player but also maintain their individuality and have their own opinions about things," she said.

Folmar said she would be the voice of concerned, making sure parents' concerns were brought up.

"I don't intend on coming in and making a whole lot of changes," Folmar said. "There aren't any particular gripes I have. The school board has done a good job. If elected, I look forward to working on issues such as curriculum, budget and No Child Left Behind regulations."

In addition to her court clerk duties, Folmar is a member of the Texas Court Clerks Association and the Texas Municipal Courts Association.

Before her position in Bullard, she worked for the Smith County District Attorney's Office.

"This is my first time running for office and I'm looking forward to it," Folmar said.
