TISD Superintendent’s Resignation Accepted

TYLER � Tyler school trustees have accepted the resignation of Superintendent Gary Mooring. The action came Thursday night at a regular school board meeting. He had submitted his resignation, effective June 30th. The job opening will be posted Monday morning and will remain open until June 30th.

Last week Mooring informed district employees of his resignation. According to a TISD news release, Mooring cited continued health concerns as the reason for his leaving. According to the news release, since his leadership began in August 2012, Mr. Mooring has guided the District through several notable accomplishments. Those include the passing of a $160.5 million bond package last spring, and most recently, the formation of a comprehensive strategic plan that officials say increases community engagement and supports 21st century learning among the students of Tyler ISD.
