Wade Stanford, assistant superintendent of administrative operations for the Marble Falls Independent School District (MFISD) is poised to become the next superintendent of the Westwood ISD, after a vote Thursday night by that East Texas school board.
During a special called board meeting on July 7, Westwood ISD trustees named Stanford their lone finalist to become their next superintendent. State law will require a 21-day waiting period after a finalist is chosen before the district may formally appoint a superintendent and execute a contract.
Westwood ISD serves 1,700 students in grades pre-K to 12 in Palestine and west central Anderson County. Stanford's contract is expected to be approved July 28 by the Westwood ISD Board of Trustees.
Joining Stanford in Palestine will be his wife, Marla, who is the attendance coordinator at Marble Falls Middle School.
