Southwest ISD trustees approved the contract for Jeanette Ball, who resigned abruptly from Judson ISD late last year, to become the new superintendent.
from Judson have not been confirmed, she told the San Antonio Report the split was amicable, comparing it to a “marriage.”Ball said she now is looking forward to the possibility of passing a bond in her role as Superintendent of Southwest ISD.
The district’s new leader began her career there in 1995, making her hiring something of a homecoming. Ball said her other goals include increasing student achievement and raising salaries for employees. Both of those metrics are important as San Antonio’s growth funnels students into the 13,788 student district, which is growing, while other districts in the city are seeing enrollment declines.
“We want to make sure that we can meet the demands and have classrooms that are ready for our students,” she said.Outgoing superintendent Verstuyft, a 1981 graduate of Southwest High School, told the Report he had planned to leave earlier, but didn’t want to the board“I’ve been in the district 33 years and I’ve been doing this 13 years so I’m really proud of what’s happened in our district and our community,” he said. “The only advice I would have for her is to be who she is,” he said.
