Weslaco ISD Superintendent to Address Business Community

The Weslaco Area Chamber of Commerce will host Weslaco ISD Superintendent Dr. Richard Rivera on Wednesday, May 13, from 12:00 – 1:15 pm, during the Chamber’s Quarterly Lunch & Learn, a special event for the Weslaco business community to attend and receive insightful information for their business.

Public education plays an important role in the economic and social well being of our community. Businesses will have the opportunity to learn the latest developments in the Weslaco Independent School District, including current construction projects and TAKS Scores.

To date, WISD has grown to include two high schools, four middle schools, ten elementary schools, two alternative campuses, one alternative high school and a state of the art career and technology education complex.

The presentation will be held at the Weslaco Business Visitor Center, located at 301 W. Railroad St. Seats are $5 per person and lunch is provided. RSVP by calling the Weslaco Area Chamber of Commerce at (956) 968-2102.
