Jim Rice announced he will seek re-election as Fort Bend Independent School District (FBISD) Board of Trustee, Position 3 in the May 7th, 2022 election. Rice currently serves as the FBISD Trustee, Position 3. “I am proud of my service as a Trustee on the Board for Fort Bend ISD.

My goals have always been to provide a quality education for all students, to support our teachers, engage the community and to maintain a balanced budget. I am very passionate about public education and have been actively involved in education leadership positions throughout the community,” said Rice.

Rice is President and founder of Rice & Gardner Consultants, Inc., a division of Project Controls. He understands what it takes to make payroll, pay taxes and maintain a balanced budget. Rice believes education plays a vital role in providing a competitive advantage to Fort Bend County, our community and our nation.
