CARROLLTON (WBAP/KLIF) – In a special called school board meeting on Tuesday, the CFBISD Board of Trustees unanimously voted to name Dr. Wendy Eldredge as the lone finalist for Carrollton- Farmers Branch ISD superintendent.
State law requires a 21-day waiting period following the naming of a lone finalist before officially hiring a superintendent.
Dr. Eldredge currently serves as the superintendent of Crandall ISD and has more than thirty years of experience in education.
“Dr. Eldredge brings tremendous experience, dedication, and heart to this role,” said CFB Board of Trustees President Dr. Les Black. “Our community and staff told us they wanted an educational leader who could build a trusting culture, embrace diversity, attract and retain teachers, and of course produce results for students. We are elated that we have found that educational leader in Dr. Wendy Eldredge. We cannot wait to welcome her into our learning community.”
The CFBISD Board of Trustees began the search for a new superintendent in December, 2022. The district received applications from across the country and selected Dr. Eldredge after interviewing multiple qualified candidates.
“The Board would also like to publicly thank Mr. Brian Moersch for his service as an interim superintendent,” remarked Dr. Black. “His broad experience, deep knowledge and calm leadership were critical in guiding our district through this difficult period of transition and ensuring that we continued to move forward in the service of our mission. He is a major asset for CFBISD and the board is grateful for his dedicated service.”
Dr. Eldredge was named Crandall ISD Superintendent in 2019. She previously served in Garland ISD as Assistant Superintendent of Safety & Operations and Area Director of the South Garland K-12 feeder pattern, which encompassed ten campuses and 8,200 students. She was also a principal at two schools and one academy campus and served in various capacities researching and developing curriculum. Her career began in Dallas ISD as a teacher and curriculum specialist.
