I have been truly blessed to have been a part of the LTISD family , said Dr. Kirk. I thank the past and present members of the Board of Trustees who I served alongside for the opportunity to contribute here, as well as our administration, teachers, staff, parents and the entire Lake Travis community for their support of me and our students during the past nine years.
The LTISD Board is expected to appoint an interim superintendent as well as select a search firm who will assist with recruiting qualified candidates for superintendent at a special called meeting scheduled for 8:30 a.m., Monday, July 11 at the Districts Educational Development Center.
