Conroe ISD board of trustees named Ted Landry as interim superintendent for the district in a 7-0 vote at its May 19 special meeting to discuss the position.
What to know
The board held the meeting to consider 12 candidates for its interim superintendent, as previously reported by Community Impact.
“The board is pleased to announce the selection of one of our very own as interim superintendent and reflects our deep confidence in Dr. Landry’s leadership, dedication and long-standing service to our CISD community,” the board said in a joint statement on May 20. “As we enter this new season, we are thrilled to move forward together, building on our shared commitment to excellence and taking our district to the next level.”
Landry is currently serving as principal of The Woodlands High School, according to the district’s website. In March, Landry was named deputy superintendent of Humble ISD and was set to join in June, according to HISD in a news release.
Landry has 30 years of experience in public education, and prior to working in education he served in the U.S. Marine Corps, according to HISD.
"I couldn't be more grateful for the opportunity to serve Conroe ISD as interim superintendent. I have treasured my time at The Woodlands High School and look forward to continuing to serve the Conroe ISD community," Landry said in a May 20 statement.
The backstory
The decision comes after CISD Superintendent Curtis Null was named the lone finalist in the search for the Lake Travis ISD superintendent at a special meeting of the LTISD board of trustees on May 1.
The district will also discuss the posting of a chief of staff position at a future meeting.
What's next
A special board meeting is scheduled for May 29 at 1 p.m. to conduct interviews and hire a superintendent search firm for the permanent superintendent.
