DSISD extends leader’s contract

Dripping Springs ISD leaders last month unanimously approved to extend the contract of their leader.

The Dripping Springs ISD board of trustees extended Dr. Bruce Gearing’s contract by one year, which will have him as the schools’ leader until 2021-2022. Trustees also approved a two percent salary increase.

Gearing, a native of South Africa, was hired by Dripping Springs ISD in February 2012. Prior to his hire, Gearing served as the superintendent at Marshall ISD and at Mount Pleasant ISD.
