Steve Mitchell, a 16-year member of the Richardson City Council, has announced his plans to run for the Richardson ISD school board.
Mitchell said in a prepared statement that he plans to run for the at-large Place 7 seat in the May 1 election.
In 2009, an amendment to the city charter restricted council terms to six consecutive two-year terms. Mitchell, who has served on the council since 2005 and was mayor from 2007 to 2009, will be term-limited out in May.
