The Fort Worth school board has named Angelica Ramsey as its lone finalist for the position of superintendent.
PUBLISHED 8:07 AM CDT Aug. 31, 2022The Fort Worth school board has named Midland Superintendent Angélica Ramsey as the lone finalist for the top job in the Fort Worth Independent School District.
Trustees, assisted by the search firm of Hazard, Young, Attea & Associates, interviewed six candidates in early August. The decision to name Ramsey comes a day before outgoing Superintendent Kent Scribner leaves the school district. If Fort Worth wants successful students, the district needs successful teachers, Poole said. For teachers to be successful, Fort Worth needs successful schools. “And for all of that to occur, we need our superintendent to be successful,” he said.
“We have some characteristics that are really, really well-suited for being school leaders,” said Ramsey, who is Latina. “We listen more than we speak. We treat children as though they’re our own. And, culturally, because it was a study of Latina leaders, we believe in family, so we take our school community and treat them as family.”
