Trustees name lone finalist for superintendent position
From staff report
Garland ISD Trustees on Thursday, Jan. 24, named Dr. Bob Morrison lone finalist for the district's superintendent vacancy in a specially called meeting. Morrison, current superintendent for Mansfield ISD, is expected to assume the duties of GISD superintendent sometime after a state-mandated 21-day waiting period.
Morrison succeeds Dr. Curtis Culwell, who retired Dec. 21 after 14 years as GISD superintendent and 37 years in public education.
The selection of Morrison as sole finalist concludes a four-month search for Culwell's replacement. With the assistance of School Executive Consulting, the board garnered public input from community members as well as GISD staff to develop a wish list of qualities the district desired in a new superintendent.
