A new principal for Colt Elementary School was approved during the meeting Monday, May 16, of the Marble Falls Independent School District (MFISD) Board of Trustees.
The appointment of Erika O’Conner was recommended by Superintendent Chris Allen, PhD, based on an extensive search process. Staff, parents and community members helped set the search criteria used also to evaluate six Colt principal finalists. Allen conducted further interviews with two select candidates.
O’Connor replaces Keith Powell, who is retiring following 16 of service with MFISD and 31 total years in education, including the post of principal of Highland Lakes Elementary School.
