School Board Recognition Month 2026

Richardson ISD Board of Trustees - School Board Recognition Month, Our future is public

January is School Board Appreciation Month, and we’re celebrating the incredible leaders who champion our students, staff, and community. Now more than ever, our Board of Trustees stands with public schools across the nation behind one belief: Our Future is Public.

Thank you to our Board members for their vision, support, and commitment to our North Star Goal: Every student, teacher, and leader will meet or exceed their academic growth goal.

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

Thank you, RISD Board of Trustees! #SchoolBoardMonth #RISDDreamBig
