At the November 21, 2019 special meeting of the Dripping Springs ISD Board of Trustees, the Board unanimously approved the hiring og Todd Washburn as Superintendent of Schools. Washburn, who most recently served as Associate Superintendent for Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment at Eanes ISD, was named lone finalist for the position on October 30, 2019. State law requires districts to wait 21-days after selecting a lone finalist before extending a formal offer.
He will begin his new role leading DSISD’s seven campuses immediately.
“I am honored and humbled to be selected to serve as the next superintendent of Dripping Springs ISD,” said Washburn. “I look forward to building relationships with students, staff, parents and community members as we continue to provide a personal and exceptional education for every learner.”
“Todd has visible love for public education and a heart for students,” said Board President Carrie Kroll. “I think our community will find his excitement for learning refreshing and his passion invigorating. We look forward to welcoming him into the Tiger family.”
Former DSISD Superintendent Dr. Bruce Gearing left the district to become superintendent of Leander ISD in August. Dr. Nola Wellman, formerly Eanes ISD Superintendent, has been the district’s interim Superintendent through the fall semester.
