Since 2011, Crowson has been licensed as an attorney with the State Bar of Texas.

In case you missed it

LTISD has undergone several leadership changes in recent weeks. Former Police Chief Andy Michael resigned to work as a consultant at a nonprofit in late December.

At a Dec. 17 special-called meeting, the board of trustees voted to place Superintendent Paul Norton on a paid administrative leave and launch an investigation following allegations of misconduct. The board appointed Pam Sanchez, LTISD assistant superintendent for business services, as acting superintendent in Norton’s place.

The hiring of the district’s new legal counsel is not related to the investigation as it will be conducted by a third party, Alvarado told Community Impact.
