HUNTSVILLE, Texas – The Huntsville ISD Board of Trustees has named Travis Fanning as the district\u2019s Lone Finalist for Superintendent of Schools, beginning the 21\u2011day waiting period required under Texas law before a final vote can be taken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fanning currently serves as Superintendent of Beeville ISD, a role he has held since 2020. He brings 25 years of experience in public education, including more than 21 years in administrative leadership and over five years as a superintendent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Board President Ken Holland said Fanning\u2019s record of student\u2011centered leadership, academic improvement, and community engagement made him the clear choice to lead Huntsville ISD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During his tenure in Beeville, the district improved student performance, raised its state accountability rating, and passed a $62 million bond in 2024 to support major facility upgrades, including a new elementary school. Fanning has also been recognized as Cypress\u2011Fairbanks ISD Secondary Principal of the Year and has been nominated three times for Region 2 Superintendent of the Year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A first\u2011generation college graduate, Fanning holds degrees from Alabama A&M University and the University of Houston\u2013Clear Lake and is currently pursuing a doctorate at Baylor University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Huntsville ISD leaders say they look forward to welcoming Fanning and his family as the district prepares for its next chapter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
