  RISD Superintendent's Office
 
 

Mission Statement:
The superintendent’s office oversees the largest view of operations in the district, including leadership for planning, operation, supervision and evaluation of the education program, services, and facilities of Rockwall schools.   In any given day, the superintendent’s office sees a wide range of issues involving students and parents, district employees, community members, and state officials.  Because Dr. Burton believes in an “open-door” policy, in many ways the department acts as a clearinghouse for issues, giving attention and direction to matters concerning the district, and providing a conduit for regular communication with school board members.
