On December 11, the Southlake Carroll Board of Trustees voted unanimously to approve Dr. Lane Ledbetter as the incoming CISD superintendent. Last month, the district announced the Dragon graduate as the lone finalist for the position.
Dr. Ledbetter has worked in education for the past 27 years, and he has experience as both an educator and administrator in several school districts. His first superintendent job was at Graham ISD in 2012 before he accepted the Midlothian superintendent position in 2015, where he rolled out a one-on-one technology initiative and passed the largest bond program in the school’s history.
Southlake Style previously reported Dr. Ledbetter’s name was selected out of 45 applicants and five semi-finalists that the board interviewed over the course of a few weeks. CISD Board President Michelle Moore previously stated his personal experience with the district made the board feel he was the most capable to lead the district forward.
Dr. Ledbetter will start in his new role with the district on January 4.
