Clarksville ISD Superintendent Kermit Ward announced his intent to depart from his position toward the first part of December, where he will embark on a new position with Vernon ISD.
“I consider it bittersweet that I announce my intent to depart from Clarksville ISD within the next few weeks,” Ward said in his letter. “Bittersweet simply because I have spent five years in this wonderful place where I have grown a high sense of attachment to the students and their families.”
Ward said the district, the board, the students and its community have been supportive to him from day one.
“In addition to making friends that often felt like family, the four full years that I have been here, we have together done the right work and accomplished things that no one gave us a chance to do,” he said.
He said the district is in a better financial and academic position. The district will also be equipped with updated facilities in just a few months.
“The entire community should be proud of that,” he said. “There still is yet so much to do in each of those areas, however.”
Ward’s last day with Clarksville ISD isn’t until the first part of December, where he will work co-jointly with the board to “ensure a smooth transition of leadership for the benefit of invested stakeholders within CISD.”
