At the Dripping Springs ISD Board of Trustees meeting on October 30, Todd Washburn was named the lone finalist to become DSISD’s new superintendent of schools.  Washburn is currently the Associate Superintendent for Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment in Eanes ISD.  He has served in public education 29 years as a teacher, coach, assistant principal, principal, executive director of secondary curriculum, assistant superintendent, and associate superintendent. 
 
The Board followed a lengthy process in determining the lone finalist. After receiving and reviewing 77 applications for the superintendent position, the Board selected seven applicants for initial interviews before four applicants were invited back for second interviews.

By law, the Board must now wait 21 days before hiring Washburn.  A vote has been scheduled for November 21.
 
“I would like to commend Dripping Springs ISD trustees for their hard work and dedication to this process, and the time away from their families that was required to successfully complete this superintendent search,” said DSISD Board President Carrie Kroll.
 
“I am honored and humbled by the opportunity to become the next superintendent of Dripping Springs ISD,” said Washburn. “I look forward to building relationships with the students, staff, parents and community members as we continue to provide a personal and exceptional education for every learner. These are exciting times for the district and the city of Dripping Springs, as we continue to partner, grow and shape the future of our students and our community.”
 
Washburn is slated to succeed former DSISD superintendent Bruce Gearing, who is now superintendent of Leander ISD.
