I hold a bachelor’s degree in education and a master’s degree in quality systems management. As a former Round Rock ISD substitute teacher, a parent, and the husband of an RRISD special education teacher, I understand the challenges facing our students, educators, and families.

ABOUT THE CANDIDATE

Troy J. Evanovich holds a bachelor's degree in education and a master's degree in quality systems management. He is a parent, and his wife is a Round Rock Independent School District special education teacher.

I have spent my life serving others—through 29 years of military service in the United States Air Force, United States Army, and Texas State Guard, including leadership as a senior officer, commander, and aviator. Professionally, I have built a career in organizational leadership, quality management, budgeting, policy development, and continuous improvement.

My wife is a teacher, and I have also served as an RRISD substitute teacher. Those experiences have given me a firsthand view of what educators carry, what students need, and how decisions made at the board table reach all the way into the classroom.

SUPPORT & RETAIN GREAT TEACHERS

Competitive compensation, practical classroom support, and disciplined budgeting that prioritizes the people doing the work so RRISD can keep the educators our students depend on.

Supporting teachers is not separate from putting students first. Great teachers are one of the most important ingredients in student success.

Teacher pay and retention deserve serious attention in every budget conversation, alongside the disciplined financial management necessary to sustain those investments.

MY COMMITMENT TO RRISD EDUCATORS

Reduce unnecessary burdens teachers are asked to absorb in time, paperwork, and personal expense.
Evaluate major board decisions by asking: Does this strengthen the classroom for students and teachers?

- A trustee is an elected member of a local school board who helps govern a public school district.

- Trustees represent community interests and are responsible for setting policies that guide how the school district operates.

- The board of trustees hires and evaluates the superintendent, who manages the day-to-day operations of the district.

- Trustees approve the district’s budget, monitor spending, and may set the local tax rate or call for bond elections to fund schools.

- The board also oversees educational programs, district goals, and overall performance.

- In Texas, trustees are elected to four-year terms, often on a rotating basis, so not all seats are elected at the same time.

- Trustees serve without financial compensation.
