CCISD reboots super search, shuffles admins

Clarendon CISD has reorganized its administrative team while it reboots its search for a new superintendent.

After none of its three superintendent finalists were selected for the job, a new search will be undertaken.

Interim Superintendent Rick Teran said the three finalists just weren’t the right fit for the school and so the board decided to conduct a new search.

The Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) will continue to handle the search at no extra cost to the district, Teran said. The school will re-advertise the position beginning in October.

In addition, another school administrator is leaving the district. Clarendon High School Principal John Moffett has accepted the job of superintendent at Hart ISD effective August 18, Teran said.

Elementary and junior high counselor Erin Shaw is taking the job of being principal for both CHS and Clarendon Junior High, and CJH Principal Jenifer Pigg is moving to the elementary principal position.

The school has also dealt with an issue of mold in the high school building over the past week. Teran said two classrooms and the auditorium were locked up after carpets were cleaned but not before the carpets were dry, which resulted in a mold outbreak. Remediation of the mold has already been conducted, and Teran said the district was awaiting results of a second test for mold before moving forward with installing new carpet in those rooms this week.

Teran said all work should be completed in time for classes to start. CCISD students return next Wednesday, Augsut 13, with registration this week on Thursday and Friday, August 7 and 8.
