Morgan issues transition statement between Glass separation and Austin appointment
On May 13, 2026 — the day after the board's 3-2 mutual-separation vote with Superintendent Glass and the day before the May 14 special meeting at which Don Austin would be announced as the incoming superintendent — Board President Sheri Morgan issued a transition press statement on behalf of the board. Per Jeannette Andruss's Spotlight Schools preview the morning of May 14, Morgan told the outlet via text message that she would issue a follow-on press release after the May 14 meeting. The May 13 statement fills the window between the May 12 closed-session vote and the May 14 Austin appointment release.

During this transition period, it is imperative that our students continue to receive the highest quality education and support. Service to our students, employees and families will be our highest priority. Families should expect schools to continue operating as usual. Students will continue to be supported by teachers, staff, principals and District leaders. The Board is focused on ensuring that this transitional period does not distract from our core mission– teaching, learning and education. The Board recognizes the importance of the coming weeks and will act to provide stability and progress. Further comments will be brought forward as needed.
