In January 2006, RISD launched Inside RISD, a year-long program designed to allow community members to go behind the scenes for an in-depth look at Richardson Independent School District. Monthly early morning sessions focus on specific areas of district operations, from crayons to college, from the classroom to the bus barn, and from buildings to balance sheets.

Each year principals may name an emerging leader from their community for inclusion on the guest list. It is hoped that the annual program will attract those individuals who will be future members of district committees and teams, those who can help make a difference in the school community as opinion leaders.

Those who joined the classes are being informed and entertained in adult-style learning sessions with lots of tours, games, and discussions. So far, this year, the class of 2007 has participated in the following sessions:
