The Killeen Independent School District Board of Trustees officially welcomed Superintendent Dr. Jo Ann Fey to the district on Monday during a Special Called Meeting. Trustees named Dr. Fey the lone finalist for the superintendent position at a meeting conducted on June 1, 2023.
Dr. Fey was selected by Trustees for her proven track record of successfully working with sub-populations that greatly resemble those of the Killeen Independent School District. Her authentic passion for ensuring each student has an opportunity to realize their full potential aligns with the district’s mission of teaching so that each child learns to their maximum potential.
Board President Brett Williams said, “The Board of Trustees is excited to complete the next step in what we feel has been an intentional and successful process in identifying our next leader. Dr. Fey’s insight, energy, and commitment to our KISD family have already been evident over the last 21 days. We are confident that our community will see immediate progress in our efforts to ensure every student learns to their maximum potential.”
Dr. Fey has a proven track record of being a ‘turnaround specialist’ when it comes to transforming campuses from underperforming to overachieving. This skill will significantly assist students, teachers, and administrators in having a great educational experience within Killeen Independent School District.
The newly signed Superintendent said, “I am excited to work with the staff, administration, and students to make Killeen ISD a destination district in Central Texas. I am even more excited to include staff, community, and student voice in our journey.”
Dr. Fey’s first day as Superintendent of Killeen ISD will be Monday, July 10, 2023.
