After three weeks of waiting, Houston ISD administrator Rodney Watson was named the new superintendent of schools for Spring ISD June 23.
"I am extremely excited about the appointment as superintendent of Spring ISD," Watson said. "My wife and I are making plans to move our family to the district. Most important, I am looking forward to meeting with teachers, administrators and community members to hear about ways that we can work together to move the district forward."
The Spring ISD board of trustees officially hired Watson at a meeting June 23. It was the final day of the 21-day waiting period required before the board could officially hire him. Watson was named the sole finalist for the position June 2.
"Hiring our new superintendent has been a significant responsibility, which we took very seriously," said Rhonda Faust, president of the board of trustees. "It is so important to every member of the board that we make the best possible choices for our children, and we feel confident that Dr. Watson is the best choice."
