Frisco ISD
An interim superintendent has been named to assist with administrative responsibilities while Carroll ISD works to find Dr. David Faltys' replacement for next year.
An educator with over 31 years of experience, Dr. Jeremy Lyon is the former Frisco ISD superintendent that’s worked for the district for 14 years before his retirement in 2017. Having experience as a teacher, coach and administrator, Dr. Lyon's many accomplishments during his tenure include opening 20 new schools in the district, winning the American School Health Association National Superintendents School Health Leadership Award in 2012 and partnering with the Dallas Cowboys to build the Star in Frisco in 2016.
“Carroll ISD is an extraordinary school district, with a reputation for excellence across this state and nation," Dr. Lyon says to the board of trustees during its meeting on Monday, September 14. "I am humbled in my opportunity to make a small but important contribution to its excellence and success."
Board president Michelle Moore says Dr. Lyon is passionate about improving health and wellness for students and teachers. She says his role is to ultimately build a bridge transitioning between Dr. Faltys and his eventual replacement.
“My primary focus will be on student learning," Dr. Lyon says to the trustees. “Teachers are working overtime to make this new school design work for students. I intend to support the hard work and efforts of your staff. Let’s focus on learning. Let’s celebrate the extrordinary students you have. Let’s ensure they have the opportunity to thrive each and every school day.”
The board unanimously accepted Dr. Lyon's nomination as interim superintendent for the fall. Michelle says Dr. Lyon will move into the temporary position in October, which is when Dr. Faltys will shift into a special advisory role for the district.
