Katherine (Kathy Wright), Superintendent RDUSD

Hosted by our club member, Bill Schauer, Jr

Katherine (Kathy) Wright is the current Superintendent River Delta Unified School District (RDUSD).  She is the 5th generation in her family to be raised and received her Preshcool-12th Grade education within the Sacramento Delta.  Mrs. Wright lives in Rio Vista with her husband, Steve.  They have two children, Nathan and Emma, who are young adults now.  Both of their children are currently enrolled at Chico State.

Mrs. Wright was hired by RDUSD for her first teaching assignment after earning her BA and a teaching credential from Chico State.  She taught at the elementary school level for 13 years.  After earning her administrative credential and MA in Educational Leadership from St. Mary's College, she served as a school administrator for 6 years.  In 2012, Mrs. Wright was recruited and hired by a federal agency, WestEd, to be a part of a school turnaround team that assessed, created and implemented school improvement plans for the lowest performing schools across our nation.  She returned to RDUSD in 2016 to serve as the Director of Educational Services.  In 2019 the RDUSD Board of Trustees selected Mrs. Wright to serve as the Superintendent.  Although she never imagined facing the challenges of a national pandemic in her first year as Superintendent, she is still as committed as ever to humbly serving the staff, students and their famiies in the most effiective and impactful manner possible.

Mrs. Wright is looking forward to speaking to the Rotary Club of Walnut Grove members about the impact Covid-19 has had on our schools, the condition of our school facilities and Meaure K, and the importance of the schools continuing to be well connected with their community-based organizations.
