School district officials are expected to name an interim superintendent for Allen ISD at a special-called meeting later this month.

What happened: Allen ISD’s board of trustees was expected to name a lone finalist for superintendent at a special-called meeting held May 7. During the final vetting process, board members decided the remaining candidates “would not be the right fit for Allen ISD” at this time, board President Polly Montgomery said.

As a result, the remaining candidates have been removed from consideration, she said.

What's next: The board is expected to name an interim superintendent at a special-called meeting held at 5 p.m. May 14.

Quote of note: “Selecting the next superintendent is one of the board’s most important responsibilities,” Montgomery said. “The board is committed to taking the time needed to identify a leader who reflects the high expectations of the Allen ISD community and is prepared to support student success, future-ready learning and continued growth across the district.”
