Rockwall County Commissioners recognize the first female superintendent of Royse City ISD

Rockwall, TX (June 25, 2024) – On May 28, 2024, the Rockwall County Commissioners Court was scheduled to acknowledge the unanimous approval of Dr. Amy Anderson as superintendent of schools by the Royse City ISD School Board. However, the attention of the County Commissioners shifted to dealing with the aftermath of a spring storm that brought strong winds and heavy rain to town.

Now that summer is here and we anticipate the upcoming school year, the County Commissioners would like to share the proclamation presented today by Commissioner Dana Macalik.
