Navarro ISD Superintendent looks forward to retirement, thanks students, staff, community for years of excellence By Cindy Aguirre-Herrera
(Seguin) -- Navarro ISD Superintendent Dee Carter is sharing more behind her decision to step down at the end of this school year. Carter earlier this week shared her letter of resignation to the members of the Navarro ISD Board of Trustees. Carter, who had been attending an education conference, returned this week to answer more questions about her decision to retire after 14 years with the school district. In that letter, Carter talked about the energetic leadership that would be required to move the district forward. She states, "it occurs to me that the district is entering a period of unprecedented growth which will require long hours, weeks, months and years" of leadership. "It's been on my mind probably for the last two years because as I noted in my letter, I'm not getting any younger and I've noticed that from time to time. The district again as I said in my letter is getting ready to enter a period of truly unprecedented growth. There are at least seven developments that are underway in the school district and our demographer tells us that we may grow by another 1,000 students in the next several years and this district needs to have someone who has a lot more youthful energy then I find myself having at this point in my life," said Carter. While her decision might have come as a shock for some, Carter doesn't believe the board was as surprised. See SUPERINTENDENT, page 2
Navarro ISD Superintendent Dee Carter's interest in the community has never been disputed especially with things such as participating in this special video which talked about the uncertainty of the future for the students of not only Navarro but also of the Seguin ISD. Carter and Seguin ISD Superintendent Dr. Matthew Gutierrez joined forces last year urging the GuadalupeBlanco River Authority to reconsider its decision to lower all lakes in the Guadalupe Valley Lakes System. Carter's leadership and history with both school districts warranted her views to be heard by those currently in litigation.
