January is School Board Appreciation Month

Charting excellence school board recognition month January 2024

Every January, RISD recognizes our elected board of trustees, who volunteer many long hours each in their work to set the vision, mission, and goals for the district and determine the resources and budget necessary for RISD to operate in a way that supports every student, every teacher, and every leader every day.

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. #RISDWeAreOne
