🍎 Meet Board President James Russell ~
A Trustee for 15 years, James states, "I choose to serve on the board because I understand how important the collective board and The District are to the students, teachers, and staff. ECISD is a crucial part of our community. The people who make up ECISD make our community better through their work in The District and their work outside of their school district roles. Thus, as a Trustee, I see my job as helping make decisions that are good for our kids, good for our educators and staff, and good for Our Community."
James works in the insurance industry and specializes in Commercial Risk including Oilfield, Construction, Marine, and Surety.
