The Cleburne ISD school board on Monday will consider hiring the finalist for the district’s superintendent position.
The board named Dr. Ronny Beard as its lone finalist April 25, but state law requires the district to wait 21 days before hiring him.
“All of us on the board have been looking forward to this meeting,” board President Stu Madison said. “Since his first interview with us, Dr. Beard has been at the top of our candidate list.”
A reception for Beard will follow immediately after the meeting.
“We plan to come back and have a community reception for him before the start of the new school year,” Madison said. “But we thought we would go ahead and have a reception for Dr. Beard and his wife, Martha, right after the meeting, to welcome them on board.”
Beard’s hiring is the sole item on the meeting’s agenda. The meeting is at 6 p.m. at the district administration building, 505 N. Ridgeway.
Beard has been Sweetwater ISD’s superintendent since April 2004 and was assistant superintendent at White Settlement ISD for three years before that. He was also superintendent of schools at Star ISD from 1992-93.
Beard began his education career in 1973 as a vocational agriculture teacher with Columbia-Brazoria ISD. In 1976 he was employed as a vocational teacher at New Horizons Boys Ranch in Goldthwaite. Before being named principal at Mullin, he served three years in that district, 1986-89, as an all-level science and agriculture science teacher.
