These stories are about our District and about the dedicated people that make a difference each day. Countless hours are committed behind the scenes to accomplish so much and often times this dedication goes unrecognized. I am excited that we have the opportunity to shine a spotlight on a few of these individuals and congratulate them for the great work. Sincerely, Eric Yung Chairperson, Richmond Board of Education
