II.A. Consideration and Possible Action to Approve an Out-of-State Trip for the Superintendent
Presenter:
Rick Kirkpatrick
Description:
I have been invited to attend the Innovamat SUMA Summit in Mexico City, Mexico, from April 21–25. The summit is for educational leaders from the US and Mexico designed to be transformative, guiding participants from reflection to action while expanding their strategic vision and refining their leadership approaches. During the Summit, we will visit one fully bilingual campus to observe math instruction and one IB Diploma campus based on critical thinking, creativity, and resilience. Innovamat covers the cost of accommodations, all lunches, and transportation within the conference. The district will pay for the cost of the flight, four breakfast meals, and four dinner meals while on the trip. The estimated cost to FISD is $767.00.

Presenter:
Rick Kirkpatrick
Description:
A committee comprised of two parents, the high school and middle school principal, the assistant superintendent, the superintendent, and two FISD board members interviewed seven candidates in the first round of interviews on Monday, March 23. Following those interviews, the committee narrowed the field to three candidates who all returned for a second round interview on Tuesday, March 24. Based on those interviews, I am pleased to recommend Coach Quintin Posey as the next Athletic Director and Head Football Coach for Florence ISD.
