CISD Superintendent Dr. David Faltys will retire from his position effective January 4, 2021, according to a school press release. Dr. Faltys has served the district for more than 15 years in this role and, by retirement, he will have completed 33 years of service in public education.
During his superintendent tenure, CISD completed three successful bond programs, advanced technology district-wide and received countless accolades.
“It has been a tremendous honor to serve this district as superintendent, and I want to thank the community for caring for our family and especially my kids,” says Dr. Faltys via press release. “From state championships and New York Jazz competitions to Harvard Debate and 'America’s Got Talent'...I have loved every minute.”
The release states Dr. Faltys originally planned to announce his retirement right after spring break for an August departure, but the COVID-19 pandemic altered that timeline.
“It’s been a hard year, and it didn’t seem right to step away before the new year started,” says Dr. Faltys via press release. “We have amazing teachers, administrators and support staff. They have been working diligently to create a safe and caring environment for our students whether they are learning in-person or virtually. It’s time to lean into this next phase of leadership.”
The Carroll School Board will discuss the superintendent’s intent to retire at its August 17 meeting. Dr. Faltys has stated he will remain in his leadership position through the search and transition period, and that he will likely leave the district in the hands of a new superintendent prior to the end of the calendar year.
“It’s been a great ride, and I’ve enjoyed every minute of it,” Dr. Faltys says via press release. “Educators spend so much time taking care of other people’s children in our care. I’m really looking forward to spending some quality time with my family.”
