Frisco ISD officials have approved Todd Fouche as the district's next superintendent.
Fouche's contract was approved by the board of trustees during an April 3 meeting. The board named Fouche as the lone finalist in mid-March. Fouche will replace Superintendent Mike Waldrip, who served as superintendent of FISD since 2017 and announced his retirement in November.
“Our focus remains exactly where it should be: on our students and staff," Fouche said in an April 3 news release. "We are committed to knowing every student by name and need to ensure they have the best possible future. That dedication guides the work happening in every classroom and on every campus each day."
Looking back
Fouche has served in several roles during his 10 years with FISD, the release states. This includes teaching fifth and eighth grade science, serving as assistant principal at Roach Middle School and later principal at Pioneer Heritage Middle School. Fouche served as the district's director of finance before becoming deputy superintendent.
Fouche earned his Bachelor of Science at Texas A&M University. He later earned his master's of education and educational doctorate from the University of North Texas.
Fouche and his family have been embedded within the district for years, the release states. Fouche's mother retired as a teacher at Staley Middle School in 2004 while his daughters attended FISD in K-12 grades.
District leaders worked with the search firm Impact Education Specialists to guide the district through its executive search process.
