The Keller Independent School District School Board has named its lone finalist for superintendent.
Monday morning the board voted unanimously to name Dr. Tracy Johnson to replace outgoing superintendent Rick Westfall. Westfall announced he was retiring back in June.
The district's search led them to Dr. Johnson — who is currently the district's Chief Human Resources Officer. Once she's hired — she'll be the first female superintendent in the district.
"I am humbled and honored to have been chosen as the lone finalist for the KISD Superintendent position," Dr. Johnson said. "This is profoundly personal for me because I truly believe we have the best students, parents, employees, and community. I have had the privilege to witness the heart of the people of this district, and it is evident that our community is dedicated to the growth and care of students. Ensuring every student receives the best educational experience possible has served as my top priority and focus throughout my educational career. I am thankful for the Board of Trustees' commitment to our students and for placing their trust in me to lead this district."
After a mandatory 21 day waiting period the board will formally declare her the district's new superintendent. Dr. Johnson is expected to start on Jan. 2nd.
For the last six months, John Allison has served as KISD's Interim Superintendent.
