Due to recent concerns regarding student privacy, Winnsboro ISD has canceled its current contract with Lifetouch for school photography services. The district is actively seeking a new photography provider and will notify parents once spring pictures, which include individual student photos and class pictures, have been rescheduled. We appreciate your understanding and patience during this transition.
Dear Winnsboro ISD Parents and Community Members,
The Winnsboro Independent School District is pleased to introduce Mr. Jeff Conovan as the Interim Superintendent of Schools.
At a Special Board Meeting held on Saturday, February 7, the WISD School Board voted unanimously to approve Mr. Conovan to serve in this role. The Board is confident that his leadership, experience, and steady guidance will serve our district well during this transitional period.
Mr. Conovan brings more than 41 years of service in public education, with a career dedicated to supporting students, strengthening schools, and mentoring educational leaders across Texas. Most recently, he served as Superintendent of Schools for Dime Box ISD from February 2022 through June 2024. Prior to that, he spent ten years as a Field Agent for the Texas Superintendent Certification Institute, where he worked closely with aspiring and current superintendents.
Throughout his career, Mr. Conovan has trained and consulted with administrators in more than 70 school districts and charter schools. He has served as a campus principal and in multiple executive director roles, with a strong focus on leadership development and closing academic and behavioral gaps for students who need additional support. Now retired from full-time superintendent service, he continues to serve districts as an interim superintendent and mentors first-year superintendents across the state.
Beyond his professional accomplishments, Mr. Conovan values family and community. He is married to his wife, Lois, and they have two children, Cash and Courtney.
The Board and district leadership look forward to working with Mr. Conovan as he partners with our staff, students, families, and community to ensure stability, continuity, and continued progress for Winnsboro ISD.
Thank you to our parents and community members for your ongoing support, trust, and commitment to our schools. We are grateful for your partnership and remain focused on doing what is best for our students, today and always.
