RICHMOND, Ind. The Richmond Community School Board met in special session Friday morning to appoint Kristen Brunton as the new District 3 board member.
Brunton will take the official oath of office the board s next meeting on June 16, and her term will expire Dec. 31, 2022. Brunton will replace board member Suzanne Derengowski, who announced her resignation on May 5 after 20 years of service.
“Education is a passion of mine,” Brunton said in a release. “To have the opportunity to be part of a board that makes policies that directly impact students is powerful. I bring a plethora of educational expertise to the board as well as a fresh perspective as a past teacher and current parent. It’s exciting to be able to give back to the RCS community in this capacity.”

Richmond School Board strongly opposes establishment of Education Savings Accounts
The Indiana General Assembly during its 2021 legislative session is considering the establishment of education savings accounts (ESAs) that funnel state funding to parents who withdraw their children from public school. ESAs give parents the equivalent of a taxpayer-funded debit card for private school tuition, unregulated home schools and educational services such as tutoring. Public funds should be invested in public schools, which serve ALL children. Public schools are subject to fiscal transparency, public oversight and taxpayer accountability. Non-public schools are NOT. All schools that receive public funds should be held to the same set of standards.
