Lake Travis ISD Deputy Superintendent Diane Frost was selected as the
superintendent for Corsicana ISD, leading LTISD Superintendent Dr. Rocky
Kirk to restructure LTISD’s staff.
“The deputy superintendent position and all of the responsibilities
it holds is critically important to the successful operation of the
district,” Kirk said. “Fortunately, we are able to redirect these duties
internally among staff already in place, rather than searching outside
the district for this position.”
The staff changes will take place immediately. Frost is taking
accumulated vacation leave from LTISD until her contract is up June 30
and will be doing consulting work with Corsicana ISD until then.
Deputy superintendent LTISD’s general
counsel Susan Bohn will assume the role of deputy superintendent. In
this role, Bohn will provide leadership to campus principals as well as
to numerous administrative functions of the district, including
communications, community programs, extracurricular programs and human
resources. Bohn joined LTISD in November 2006. A native Austinite,
she earned a law degree from The University of Texas School of Law and a
master’s degree from the LBJ School of Public Affairs at The University
of Texas, with a focus on education policy. Bohn began her career in
public education as a high school social studies teacher.
“Since joining the senior leadership team in our district, Susan has
done an exceptional job of successfully dealing with significant legal
challenges that had the potential to negatively affect our district and
students, all while reducing annual legal expenditures,” Kirk said.
“Additionally, beyond her scope as an attorney, and drawing upon her
experience as an educator and training related to school district
management, Susan has worked collaboratively as a member of our senior
leadership team to increase the quality and strength of all district
programs.”
Assistant
superintendent for student support services Director of Special
Services for LTISD Becky Burnett will assume the duties of assistant
superintendent for student support services. In this role, Burnett will
continue to have general responsibility for special education services,
but will also be responsible for other student service components such
as pre-kindergarten and bilingual programs, section 504/ADA, counseling,
health care and social services.
“Becky has distinguished herself as an exemplary leader in the area
of special services. She is well-respected among parents and
colleagues. Our district will be better served through her work in this
expanded role,” Kirk said.
Burnett earned a bachelor’s degree in education with a specialty in
communication disorders from the University of North Texas and a
master’s degree in educational administration from the University of
Phoenix.
Director of
educational support services LTISD’s instructional technology
coordinator Holly Morris-Kuentz will assume responsibilities as the
director of educational support services, a role that combines
administrative support to the deputy superintendent with her current
duties of providing instructional technology support to classroom
teachers. Morris-Kuentz, a native of San Antonio, earned a bachelor’s
degree in curriculum and instruction from Houston Baptist University.
She spent nine of her 13 years in education in Alamo Heights ISD as a
teacher and campus technology coordinator, followed by four years in
higher education administration in New York.
Director of special
education LTISD Coordinator of Special Services Diana Davison will
assume the duties and responsibilities as director of special education.
Davison, who is completing her doctorate degree in special education
from the University of Montana, joined the district in 2007. She holds a
bachelor’s degree in history/English education from Southern Methodist
University and a master’s degree in library science from Sam Houston
State University.
Combining staff roles is expected to save the district more than
$50,000.
