Becky Richardson

My name is Becky Richardson, and I’ve proudly called Lyndhurst home for the past 16 years. As a single mother to two incredible children—Nathan (14) and Anna (11)—I’ve spent years deeply invested in our schools and community, not just as a parent, but as a passionate advocate for every child’s success.

​

Whether cheering from the sidelines as a football, soccer, and band mom, or mentoring youth as Assistant Scoutmaster for Scout Troop 461, I believe in showing up, speaking out, and building connections that matter.

 

I bring 9 years of PTA leadership experience, where I’ve led initiatives that directly impacted our students—from replacing elementary playgrounds to facilitating vital conversations on safety, bullying, and social-emotional learning. I’ve worked hand-in-hand with district administrators and PTA treasurers to ensure transparency, accountability, and meaningful progress.

 

Professionally, I’ve spent 18 years at Progressive Insurance, including a decade as a claims leader. My career has sharpened my skills in problem-solving, communication, and leadership—skills I now use to champion families and educators alike.

​

I’m honored to have been recognized with multiple awards, including the Ohio PTA Lifetime Achievement Award (2019), the Family School Partnership Award (2024), and the Advocacy Award (2024). I’m also a Distinguished Toastmaster and a proud Girl Scout Gold Award recipient.

 

I’m ready to take my advocacy to the next level. My name is Becky Richardson and I’m running for school board because I believe in strengthening the relationships between our families, teachers, staff, administrators, and the broader community. Together, we can build a district where every child feels safe, supported, and inspired to thrive.
