At a special meeting on May 11, the Dripping Springs ISD Board of Trustees approved Superintendent Todd Washburn’s recommendation of Dr. Karen Kidd as the district’s new Assistant Superintendent for Learning and Innovation.
Kidd has been an educator for almost two decades and has spent nearly 11 years as a campus and central office
administrator overseeing curriculum, accountability, assessment and professional learning. She comes to Dripping Springs following more than five years in Prosper ISD, where she is the director of Curriculum and
Instruction after serving as director of Program Evaluation and Information Services. Previously she spent 12 years in Frisco ISD, serving as the district’s Testing and 504 Coordinator after three years as a Campus
Instructional Facilitator. Kidd started her career as a classroom teacher in both Frisco ISD and Richardson ISD, teaching multiple subjects and grade levels.
"Karen is a student-centered, servant leader who builds meaningful, professional relationships by working collaboratively with staff, parents and the community," said Washburn. “Her curriculum and instruction experience in Prosper ISD, a high-performing, fast-growth district, makes her a great fit for our district and community."
