Lake Travis ISD board votes to select permanent superintendent
AUSTIN (KXAN) — A permanent superintendent has been selected at Lake Travis ISD after board members voted at a special meeting Thursday.
Dr. Curtis Null had previously been named the lone finalist for the position earlier this month. He will assume permanent duties on Monday, June 2, the district said in a press release. Null comes to the district from Conroe ISD, north of Houston, where he has served as superintendent since June 2018.
“I am humbled and honored to be selected by the Lake Travis school board as Superintendent of Schools,” Null said in the press release. “Lake Travis ISD is an outstanding school district with a rich and deep-rooted tradition of success in academics, athletics, and fine arts. This is a privilege and responsibility which I do not take lightly, and I look forward to serving the staff, students, and families of this great community.”
Null will replace Steve Flores, who has served as interim superintendent since late February. Flores took over from Paul Norton, who was placed on leave in December 2024, following allegations of misconduct, according to the district. At the time, the school board said in a press release that those allegations were “confidential and protected from disclosure.”
“With assistance from JG Consulting, we found a leader of outstanding character and proven results,” Board President Lauren White said. “Dr. Null brings extensive experience, a commitment to student success, and a passion for public education. We are thrilled to welcome him to the Lake Travis family and are confident in his ability to lead our district forward.”
