Dripping Springs ISD hires interim superintendent

Just before students returned to class this week, Dripping Springs ISD elected leadership tabbed a longtime administrator to guide the district on an interim basis.

Nola Wellman, who had served as the Eanes ISD superintendent from 2004 to 2014, was named as the interim DSISD superintendent by board trustees in an Aug. 19 special called meeting, according to a press release.

Wellman will serve in an interim role until a permanent superintendent is found at a later date. Wellman will bridge the gap left by Bruce Gearing, who will leave DSISD at the end of August to assume his new position with Leander ISD.
