WASKOM \u2014 The Waskom ISD Board of Trustees named Ross Boyett as the interim superintendent on Monday, bringing years of experience in education as they begin the search for a superintendent. According to the school board, Boyett is a proven leader with a strong track record of supporting students and staff.<\/p>\n
Boyett\u2019s appointment comes after the death of beloved former superintendent Christopher Guastella, who died in a single-vehicle accident in Shreveport on March 21.<\/p>\n
According to the Caddo Parish Coroner\u2019s Office, Guastella was traveling westbound near Exit 8 of Bert Kouns when his vehicle left the road after possibly experiencing a medical emergency. Guastella was taken to Ochsner LSU Health, where he was later pronounced dead.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are fortunate to have someone with Ross\u2019s experience, character, and familiarity with Waskom ISD to lead our district during this transition,\u201d Board of Trustees President Danny Cox said. \u201cThe Board is united in its mission to support our students and staff, and we are confident Ross will provide strong, steady leadership as we begin the process of searching for a permanent superintendent.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to the school board, they are scheduled to meet later in April to discuss the superintendent search timeline.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
