She started her governance career when she was elected as a parent governor of a foundation school. Upon conversion to academy status, Khalid became a trustee and, at a later stage, a Member of the academy trust.

Khalid was asked to join the LGB of a local junior school (part of small, local MAT) as a community governor. As Chair she took the school rating from Good to Outstanding.
