About Brenda Rizos

I have been a Lovejoy resident for almost 30 years and an educational
activist for the last ten years.  I had three children attend elementary
school at Lovejoy ISD when it was a K-6 district.

My influence has
already had some positive successes in Lovejoy ISD

LISD now has a program which teaches dyslexic kids how to read

LISD finally agreed to post their budget online

LISD has put their check register online

LISD has led the state of Texas in being the first district to put credit
card transaction summaries online.

It is time that this community elects someone who will stand up for what is
right and put Lovejoy ISD kids and taxpayers first. You need someone who knows
the right questions to ask of your school administrators and is willing to ask
them.
