Cleveland ISD Names Dr. Glenn Barnes as Lone Finalist for Superintendent
The Cleveland ISD Board of Trustees is proud to announce Dr. Glenn Barnes as the lone finalist for Superintendent of Schools. Following an extensive search, the Board has selected Dr. Barnes for his proven leadership, deep ties to the community, and unwavering commitment to student success.
Dr. Barnes is no stranger to Cleveland ISD. Having previously served as a teacher, assistant principal, and principal within the district, he played a vital role in advancing academic achievement, including leading Cleveland Middle School to earn all seven TEA distinctions—an honor awarded to only 5% of schools in the state. His leadership experience also includes serving as Assistant Superintendent of Leadership and Culture at Splendora ISD and most recently as Superintendent of Aransas Pass ISD, where he implemented strategic initiatives that strengthened academic performance, leadership development, and district operations.
"Cleveland ISD is home for me, and I am honored to return and serve this incredible district once again," said Dr. Barnes. "I look forward to working alongside our students, staff, families, and community to build on our strengths and create new opportunities for success."
Board President Amanda Brooks expressed confidence in Dr. Barnes' leadership, stating: "Dr. Barnes understands Cleveland ISD, our students, and our community. His experience and passion for education make him the right choice to guide our district into the future."
Per Texas law, the Board must observe a 21-day waiting period before officially appointing Dr. Barnes as Superintendent. The final vote is expected at a Board meeting later this month.
Stay tuned for updates, and join us in welcoming back Dr. Glenn Barnes to Cleveland ISD! ❤️✨
