As we look ahead to the next decade, our team will focus on three major areas – teaching and learning, facilities and finances.

Teachers are in classrooms helping students improve their academic skills. Support staff are behind the scenes making sure our schools operate smoothly. Principals are the instructional leaders who keep school staffs focused on their learning improvement
goals. Simply stated, our employees are professionals who do an outstanding job serving students. We have the privilege of living in a vibrant community that supports and values education. A voter-approved bond issue in 2003 resulted in the renovation/construction of five schools. Hundreds of parents volunteer throughout the District. Local businesses are enthusiastic partners. The Richland School District wants to help all children be the best they can be. We look forward to hearing from you.

Educational Service Districts were created in 1969
by the Washington State Legislature as Intermediate School Districts (ISD). These regional agencies were created to replace the 39 county superintendent offices in an effort to provide more productive use of funds,
increased educational leadership, and more services to local school districts.
In 1972 the State Board of Education
reduced the number of ISDs from 14 to 12.
Effective September 8, 1975, the Washington State Legislature changed the name to Educational Service District. In 1977 the State Board of Education reduced the number of ESDs from 12 to the present 9. That same year, ESD 105 moved to its present location in the former Union Pacific Railroad terminal building,
having previously occupied offices at the Yakima
County Courthouse. The ESD 105 Conference
Center was added in 1992. |
