It’s both exciting and daunting to know the Richards Community, paired with the Richards ISD board have achieved the first step in the biggest project our community has taken on yet. In 2019, I spoke with RISD staff about their needs to build new facilities and their want to provide a better school for our Panthers, then COVID hit and it seemed that all our dreams were dashed, and worry set it in. But 2021 started, and with it the dreams reignited, and here we are in May with an approved bond that got overwhelming support from our community. While this is wonderful, our board, and the leaders at RISD need your prayers and support- as this will be a daunting adventure. Plan to attend the board meetings at RISD, listen to the Boards plans, and be willing to help if you can.
