Klein ISD officials named Meagan White as principal of the district's new tuition-free, online school, Klein Virtual Academy, in a Facebook Live event April 29.
As previously reported by Community Impact Newspaper, the new school will open with limited, open enrollment for KISD students in fourth to 12th grades as well as students from other school districts. The KVA application process for students kicked off April 23, and the school is set to open for the 2021-22 school year, pending full funding from the Texas Legislature.
"We're so excited to be able to expand the kinds of learning opportunities that we have in our school district and to be able to make sure that we can meet the specific desires, passions and interests of all of our families and all of our students through this new exciting opportunity," Superintendent Jenny McGown said during the Facebook Live event.
White earned her undergraduate degree from Texas A&M University followed by her master's degree from Lamar University. She joined KISD as a teacher in 2010 and was named KISD's Elementary Teacher of the Year in 2014. White has worked in school administration since 2014 and is currently in her fourth year as principal of Blackshear Elementary School.
