A finalist for the position of superintendent has been named for Teague ISD:  Chris Skinner.

Chris Skinner has been with Teague ISD since 2007. He has served as Assistant Principal, Principal, and Director of Facilities during his time with Teague ISD.

The Teague Independent School District (ISD) Board of Trustees, at its November 7th meeting, named Chris Skinner as finalist for superintendent.

By law, the Board must now wait 21 days before voting to hire Skinner. Chris Skinner is slated to replace Interim Superintendent Ray Matthews.

The Board has followed a lengthy process in determining the finalist. In September, the Board hired Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) Executive Search Services to direct the search.

TASB consultants developed a profile of what characteristics the community and staff desired of the new superintendent from the online survey that was available.

The profile developed was the yardstick used by the Board and consultants in evaluating the applicants for the position.

TISD Trustees selected four applicants for initial interviews. Two applicants were invited back for a second interview.

With the second round of interviews completed, the Board voted to name Chris Skinner as the lone finalist on November 7th. The Board is scheduled to vote to offer a contract to Skinner November 30th
