AUSTIN (KXAN) — The Lake Travis Independent School District school board in a special meeting on Wednesday named Dr. Steve M. Flores as interim superintendent.
This comes after the board voted to remove former superintendent Paul Norton earlier this month. Norton was placed on paid leave back in December after allegations of misconduct, according to the district.
As a result of Norton’s dismissal, Pam Sanchez became the acting superintendent while LTISD conducted its search for a replacement.
Flores previously served as chief of staff at Dallas Independent School District. His career also includes 13 years as superintendent of schools in Harlingen Consolidated Independent School District and Round Rock Independent School District, according to the press release.
“We are confident that Dr. Flores’ leadership, experience, and deep knowledge of Central Texas will be invaluable to our district at this time,” President of Lake Travis’ School Board Erin Archer said in a statement. “His dedication to supporting students, staff, and families makes him an excellent choice to guide LTISD while the Board searches for a permanent superintendent.”
The community will be invited to give input through a survey and stakeholder meetings as the district continues its search for a permanent superintendent, according to the press release.
