The Comal ISD board of trustees began the search for a new superintendent to replace Andrew Kim, who had served as superintendent since June 2012.

Kim announced his resignation during a June 7 school board meeting.

Mandy Epley, assistant superintendent of strategic initiatives and programs at CISD, was appointed to serve as interim superintendent.

The district opened up the application process July 15 and will accept applications through Aug. 15, according to a press release.

The school board is also seeking public input and created a survey open to the CISD community to provide feedback. The survey is open until Aug. 7.


An in-person community meeting will also be held Aug. 10 from 6-7 p.m. at Smithson Valley High School, 14001 Hwy. 46, Spring Branch.

The district also set up a website dedicated to providing information about the search process and where interested applicants can apply.

“While we know that we are looking for someone who will build upon the foundation of success already established here in Comal ISD, the board of trustees believes that it is important that we seek input from the community as we search for the district’s next superintendent,” said Jason York, the president of the CISD school board.
