Bullard – 
The Bullard ISD Board of Trustees has named Dr. Micah Dyer as its Lone Finalist for Superintendent. Trustees approved the action at the conclusion of the special meeting on February 24, 2026. “We are blessed and excited to have this opportunity to become part of the Bullard Panther family,” Dr. Dyer said. “Moving back to East Texas has always been our plan. This is a homecoming, and we look forward to working with Bullard ISD to provide amazing opportunities for the children.”
Dr. Dyer joins Bullard ISD from Cuero ISD, where he has served as Superintendent since 2017, and earned the Education Service Center Region 3 Superintendent of the Year award. Under his leadership, Cuero ISD received its first Texas Education Agency (TEA) “A” rating in the district’s history. Additionally, Cuero created the most Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs of study of any district in the region and consistently earned one of the highest Career, College, and Military Readiness (CCMR) ratings in the region and the state.
Before Cuero ISD, he served as Superintendent in Lovelady ISD for seven years. While at Lovelady, the district was one of only two in the region to receive an “Exemplary” rating. From 2001 to 2010, Dr. Dyer held various roles, including teacher, coach, assistant principal, principal, and DAEP director in Kirbyville, Trinity, Kennard, and Huntington, Texas.
“We are excited to welcome Dr. Dyer into our Bullard ISD family,” Bullard ISD Board of Trustees President Stephanie Luper said. “He is a creative and out-of-the-box thinker, and we look forward to seeing where his expertise leads us in the future.”
Dr. Dyer attended Kilgore College before ultimately earning a bachelor’s degree from Kansas Wesleyan University. He went on to earn both his master’s and doctorate degrees from Stephen F. Austin State University.
Dr. Dyer and his wife, Jaime, have three children, London (19), Landri (17), and Lainey (14).
Bullard ISD’s interim superintendent, Jan Hill, will continue in the role through the state-mandated 21-day waiting period.
