According to a Granbury ISD news release, state law requires a 21-day waiting period before officially appointing Glenn as Carroll ISD superintendent. During that time period, Glenn will remain with Granbury ISD to work on the transition of leadership.
“This decision to leave Granbury did not come easy,” Glenn said. “My family and I are excited for the opportunity to serve in Carroll ISD, a district dedicated to student success and a community with a rich tradition of excellence. Granbury will always hold a special place in our hearts, and we leave knowing Granbury will continue to excel.”
The news release states that under Glenn’s leadership, Granbury ISD has achieved several notable accomplishments including:
- Elevating academic achievement scores district wide
- Creating higher education partnerships
- Passing a VATRE to increase staff raises
- Starting an early education academy and dual language academy
“Dr. Glenn has served our district well for six years,” GISD board president Barbara Townsend said. “His legacy will be the strong academic and financial leadership teams that he has established at Granbury ISD. We congratulate Carroll ISD for recognizing Dr. Glenn’s leadership qualities and we wish Dr. Glenn the best as he moves forward to lead Southlake Carroll.”
