HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS MONTH
FROM TRACY: Welcome to the Education Edition. Within, readers can find information on student demographics across Richardson ISD (see Page 11), along with a Q&A with Superintendent Tabitha Branum about the upcoming school year (see Page 16). In addition, readers can learn about an expansion of a cellphone-free enforcement effort within the district that involves locking them up in individual pouches during the school day (see Page 15). Tracy Ruckel, GENERAL MANAGER
FROM KEVIN: As Richardson ISD enters a new school year, in this edition we look into how the district is improving financial literacy with a new student-run bank (see Pages 12- 13). Also in this edition, readers can learn more about increased security efforts on Dallas Area Rapid Transit trains (see Page 7), along with information about how the city’s new budget could affect residents (see Page 9) and the reopening of a Middle Eastern restaurant in the southern part of the city (see Page 17).
