Georgetown ISD announces lone finalist for superintendent position

Alvin ISD, which is about 30 minutes southeast of Houston, has 23 campuses and more than 19,700 students. It is the second largest district in Brazoria County with an annual budget of $143 million.

In comparison, GISD has 18 campuses with more than 10,500 students.

Prior to his time in Alvin, Brent received his doctorate in educational leadership at Texas A&M University. He then served as the superintendent for Anderson-Shiro Consolidated ISD near College Station until 2011 when he became superintendent in Alvin.

Lee said he is pleased with the selection.

"The field of applicants for the GISD superintendent position was strong, and trustees have identified and offered the position to one of the top superintendents in Texas" Lee said. "I am very excited about the future of this district."

Lee announced his retirement in late March, which is effective July 31. He has served the district for seven years.
