The Texas City Independent School District Board of Trustees, in a special meeting on Tuesday, voted unanimously to accept the resignation of Dr. Bob Brundrett as superintendent of schools.

Brundrett took the helm as superintendent in September of 2008.  His resignation will be effective June 30.

“A school district is measured by the commitment of the Board, staff and community to its children and their achievement,” Brundrett said. “This District is indeed so committed. I appreciate the staff and community for their support of TCISD’s programs and services during my term as Superintendent." News Release
