Texas Education Agency appoints new leadership to struggling Connally ISD
The Texas Education Agency has appointed a three-member board of managers and a new superintendent to oversee Connally Independent School District due to two campuses failing to meet state standards for five consecutive years. The district's elected board of trustees has been suspended until further notice.
The Texas Education Agency has taken control of Connally Independent School District, appointing a three-member board of managers and a new superintendent. The move comes after two district campuses failed to meet state standards for five consecutive years. The appointed board members are Matthew Stufflebeam, Linda Peoples Lindsey, and Carla Thomas, all with ties to the Connally community. Dr. Josie Gutierrez, former deputy superintendent at Waco ISD, was named the new superintendent. The district chose not to appeal the TEA's decision. The appointments are not permanent, and state law provides a timeline for returning control to elected officials.
