January is School Board Recognition Month

Every January, RISD recognizes our elected Board of Trustees, who work tirelessly in service to the school district.

These seven RISD residents volunteer many long hours each school year in their work to set the vision, mission, and goals for the district and determine the resources and budget necessary for the district to operate in a way that allows all students to connect, learn, grow and succeed.

The RISD community is grateful for the servant leadership of Board President Regina Harris, and Trustees Eric Eager, Rachel McGowan, Vanessa Pacheco, Chris Poteet, Debbie Rentería, and Megan Timme.

Thank you, RISD Board of Trustees! #ForwardTogether #RISDBelieves
