Granbury ISD superintendent Dr. Jeremy Glenn has been named the lone finalist as superintendent at Carroll Independent School District in Southlake.
State law requires a 21-day waiting period before officially appointing Dr. Glenn as Carroll ISD superintendent. During that time, Dr. Glenn will remain with Granbury ISD to work with district staff and campus leaders to ensure a smooth transition of leadership.
“It has truly been my honor to serve Granbury ISD for the last six years as superintendent,” Glenn said. “I’m grateful for the school board for the opportunity to work with some of the best students, teachers, parents and community members in Texas. Together, we have improved academic test scores, developed higher education partnerships, and lowered the tax rate every year while still maintaining a balanced budget. These accolades are a testament to our outstanding leadership team, board of trustees, and the Granbury community that always puts the welfare of students first.
“This decision to leave Granbury did not come easy,” Glenn continued. “My family and I are excited for the opportunity to serve in the Carroll Independent School District, 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.”
During Glenn’s tenure, Granbury ISD had several notable achievements. In addition to elevating academic achievement scores district wide and creating higher education partnerships, Glenn’s accomplishments also include: renovating Brawner Elementary; passing a VATRE to increase staff raises; starting the Early Education Academy and Little Buccaneers, implementing a dual language academy, TEA naming GISD a Purple Star district – the largest district in the state of Texas to have all campuses earn the designation; establishing character education programs, and numerous campus and district accolades.
“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.”
Board president Townsend stated an interim superintendent will be appointed by the school board in the coming weeks. The board will begin the search process in the fall of 2024 with plans to name a finalist that can start January 2025.
