Richardson to run for LISD school board

LaCarl Richardson kicked off his campaign to run for Lubbock Independent School Board trustee for District 2, he announced Thursday.

He says his goal is to enhance cultural diversity among the students and the community, along with building trust with parents and the schools' administration.

"My strategy is to get the parents more involved, to assist them in areas in which they'll feel comfortable enough to come in to the setting and assist us with giving their kids the proper knowledge and guidance that is needed, Richardson said."

Vernita Woods-Holmes is District 2's current school board member. She is not seeking reelection.
