With superintendent Dr. Bonny Cain announcing her “re-retirement” earlier this month, the Waxahachie Independent School District board of trustees began the process of hiring her replacement during a special meeting that stretched well into Monday evening.
At the meeting, Cain officially tendered her resignation, effective July 20. The board accepted her resignation unanimously.
Following an executive session that lasted about an hour and 20 minutes, the board agreed to hire Walsh Gallegos Trevino Russo & Kyle P.C. as the superintendent search firm. This is the same firm that Red Oak ISD used in its superintendent search in 2019, and the firm that Midlothian ISD used this past winter.
Trustees discuss ways to achieve better communication with community
Waxahachie Daily Light
The failure of the Waxahachie Independent School District bond election at the polls on May 1 leaves the WISD board of trustees facing what to do next.
The proposed $127 million bond referendum was soundly rejected, with 3,861 votes against to 2,897 votes for. Monday night was the first regular monthly meeting since the balloting, and board members agreed that the district needs better communication with the community.
Newly-installed WISD board secretary Melissa Starnater said the district needs to survey the community and seek out best practices from other parts of the state in order to make the next bond issue work. One suggestion she made was to break future bond votes down into propositions, which she said seemed to fare better in other school districts.
