Friends and Neighbors,​

 

It's my honor to serve as your Richardson ISD Trustee for District 2. When I was elected in 2022, it was no secret that our District would face continued challenges. But, I am proud of the determination and dedication of our teachers, support staff, and most importantly, our parents and students who have kept Richardson on a strong path of growth and kept new obstacles from distracting our focus. Richardson ISD is now outperforming state averages in testing performances, increasing attendance, and improving graduation rates and outcomes.

As your Board Member for District 2, I've supported measures to safeguard our students from the negative consequences of significant state budget shortfalls. I also supported teacher and support staff pay raises that brought RISD up to competitive standards and lowered the tax rate to the lowest level in 35 years. I'm incredibly proud of our investments in expanding Pre-K to more students and providing child care for staff members as an incentive for retaining top-tier educators. 

Our public education system is vital to the strength of our community. It keeps us most connected and pushes us to unite for a common purpose within our community. I ran to be your Trustee in 2022 because I knew our kids needed a voice and champion that saw them as more than just data points on paper and dollar figures in budgets. I'll be first to say, we have more work to do. As your Trustee, I will keep our District focused on our common sense goal of ensuring every student can achieve an excellent outcome. New challenges are on the horizon, but I will never back down from the fight for our public schools.

 

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out at pachecoforrisd@gmail.com.

 

Thank you!
