Rance Dunn is a part of the 5th generation of his family to graduate from Ira ISD. Rance farms and ranches here in Ira and was happy to serve as a board member when he was appointed to a vacancy early in 2024. Rance has been married for 12 years to Kaitlyn, who works as an Occupational Therapist at Sweetwater ISD. They have three children (the 6th generation of Bulldogs!): Raelyn (2nd grade), Logan (Kindergarten), and Bulldog-in-waiting Madalyn (2 years old).
Rance joined the school board because he “genuinely loves and appreciates Ira ISD and the Ira community and wants to ensure the school and community continue to prosper.” He feels his most important role as a board member is to provide the faculty and students with the support and tools needed to succeed in school and in life. While Rance recalls many great memories in his experience in Ira, his favorite memories revolve around Friday night football. He says, “I just love when the community comes together to cheer on our Bulldogs.”
