Midway ISD honors longtime board member Pete Russick at regular meeting
Summary
Midway ISD trustees and district leaders held an extended recognition for Pete Russick, marking nearly 30 years of board service and presenting a community reception planned for December.
Trustees of Midway Independent School District spent a large portion of their regular meeting honoring Pete Russick, who the district and multiple speakers credited with nearly three decades of service to the board and community.
Superintendent Doctor Allen and several board members recounted personal stories about Russick’s mentorship, leadership on school finance, and steady presence at milestones such as graduations. Assistant Principal Lauren Dunlop and Principal Chelsea Lippy introduced student participants earlier in the meeting. Multiple trustees described Russick as a ‘‘servant leader’’ who ‘‘puts the kids first’’ and said his mentorship made transitions easier for newly elected members.
Board members presented a ‘‘Friend of Midway’’ recognition and invited principals and staff to speak. Trustee comments emphasized Russick’s institutional knowledge and long-term contributions to district governance. In closing, the board announced a public reception on Dec. 9 to honor Russick.
No formal board action was taken as part of the recognitions; the event was recorded as a ceremonial acknowledgment and the meeting returned to regular business afterward.
