During a special board meeting on Tuesday evening, the Montgomery ISD Board of Trustees formally accepted the resignation of Superintendent Dr. Heath Morrison and announced the appointment of an interim superintendent. Morrison’s last day in the district will be July 31.
Montgomery ISD Assistant Superintendent of Student Services & Innovation Dr. Amy Busby was appointed as interim superintendent while the Board initiates and conducts a search for a permanent superintendent. On July 12, Morrison announced his plans to resign from his position to lead a national organization focused on public education. Busby will officially assume the role of interim superintendent on August 1.
Board President Laurie Turner said, “Our Board is taking the process of selecting our next superintendent very seriously, and as we had discussions about how to conduct the search, we all agreed it was important for us to identify an interim that will maintain stability within the district and keep us moving in the right direction.”
Dr. Busby is entering her 15th year in Montgomery ISD where she has served in several leadership roles.
During the meeting, the Board also selected the firm Thompson & Horton to lead the superintendent search process. Information on the superintendent search process will be shared with the public in the near future.
