Public Education: Why It Matters To Conservatives
Kristin K. Tassin was elected to Position No. 6 of the FBISD Board of Trustees in May 2024.
Kristin has a B.S. in Quantitative Business Analysis (Computer Science Option) and a Law Degree from Louisiana State University.
She was a Founding Member, Managing Partner and Head of Litigation at her law firm in Houston where she practiced intellectual property, business and contract law for over 18 years. In 2011, Kristin was recognized as a “Texas Rising Star” by Texas Super Lawyers Magazine.
She was previously elected to the Fort Bend Independent School District (FBISD) Board of Trustees in 2014 where she served for six-and-a-half years. Kristin was elected Board Secretary in 2015 and Board President 2016-18, during which time she helped implement policies and practices that resulted in FBISD being awarded the H-E-B Outstanding Board and Outstanding Large District in Texas.
She was also instrumental in advocating for changes in special education in the Texas legislature and opening the first fully-inclusive pre-school in a Texas public school district. In 2017, Kristin was appointed by Texas Governor Greg Abbott to serve on the Texas Continuing Advisory Committee for Special Education.
She was a “Top 30 Influential Woman in Houston” award recipient in 2017 and was presented with the “Hero for Children” award by Pastors for Texas Children in 2018. Kristin and her husband, Shannon, started a charity to support children with disabilities and their families in 2003 after their daughter was born with Down syndrome.
Kristin ran the charity for twelve years and successfully created and organized conferences, programs, fundraisers and mission trips to Morocco and Kyrgyzstan. Kristin and Shannon are local business owners and partners in Texas Gun Club, located in Stafford and League City. In 2015, Kristin and Shannon started a short-term rental property business, Sugar Maple Properties. They now successfully operate ten properties in five cities across the U.S.
