The Eanes ISD Board of Trustees has approved a contract with Dr. Tom Trigg to serve as interim Superintendent of Schools.
Board President Kim McMath previously announced a goal to name an interim leader by July 31 to coincide with the official retirement date of outgoing Superintendent Dr. Jeff Arnett, while the search for a permanent superintendent is also underway.
Dr. Trigg’s education career spans 49 years, most recently serving as superintendent of Highland Park ISD in Texas and prior to that as superintendent of Blue Valley USD 229 in Kansas. Dr. Trigg has also served as a high school mathematics teacher and coach, high school principal and assistant/deputy superintendent.
“Eanes ISD is so well respected nationally and as a top Texas school district. I am honored to serve as interim superintendent while the Board continues its search for a permanent successor to Dr. Arnett,” said Dr. Trigg. “My wife Julie and I look forward to starting the school year with Eanes ISD staff, students and community.”
The Board issued an RFQ for an executive search firm to lead the process to hire a permanent superintendent. The board will vote on hiring a firm in August, and the search process will include input from families, staff, advocates and the community.
