Deputy superintendent Jeannie Stone , who came to RISD last summer from Wylie ISD, was named interim superintendent by the RISD Board of Trustees, following Kay Waggoner ’s recent retirement. Stone has served as acting superintendent since April, and she accepted the interim role at the June 13 board meeting. Board President Kim Caston says she and the other members are “delighted” to have a leader of Stone’s caliber. In a letter to her employees, Waggoner said, “From the bottom of my heart, thank you for the opportunity to work in this outstanding district, with exceptional people, serving incredible kids.”
