Burton ISD is dedicated to providing a quality education for every student in our district. We believe every child should have the opportunity to attain their full potential. Burton ISD will work to establish effective programs (including Title I, Part A programs), activities and procedures to encourage parent participation at each campus. Burton ISD hopes to develop and maintain partnerships with parents/caregivers, patrons, and community members; moreover, the district will strive to involve parents/caregivers in all aspects of the various local, state, and federal programs offered in Burton ISD. The district goal in this policy is that by establishing and maintaining open lines of communication we will positively impact student academic achievement and campus performance.

The mission of the Burton Independent School District is to provide the highest quality education possible to all students. Students will be provided the opportunity to develop the ability to think logically, independently, creatively and to communicate effectively. The district will promote the worth and dignity of each individual child and enable each student to become a productive and responsible member of society.
