William "Bill" Woolley, 1988-1992

Mr. Woolley took over the superintendent's reign following a long history of successful predecessors. Woolley intended to make changes to the district, changes he felt Couch would not make. Immediately after Woolley took over, he announced several leadership changes in the district, which resulted in the transfer of almost every principal to a new school. The same year of Woolley's transfer, he oversaw the opening of two new elementary schools that were planned by the previous superintendent, Couch. The following year, he also oversaw a new middle school opening. Woolley continued to make several administrative changes at schools into the early 90's, and some schools found themselves with a new administrator year after year. Woolley began the process of opening a new elementary, middle, and K-8 school in the district, but all three opened after he left the office.
