In the Richardson ISD, a new approach is being taken to welcome families. Families who are new to the district are being visited by staff. These families have chosen to enroll their children in Richardson ISD, which now allows students from outside the district to attend.

The district's leader, Superintendent Tabitha Branum, is behind this effort. She wants to build trust with these families. One family, the Basses, was visited and invited the superintendent into their home.

They had transferred their daughter from another district. Further details about this initiative are available from the source, NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth.
