In a powerful moment of unity and shared vision, the Cleveland ISD Board of Trustees voted unanimously on Tuesday, April 29, to appoint Dr. Glenn Barnes as the district's next superintendent. The decision was made during a well-attended board meeting, where excitement filled the room and community members erupted in applause as the vote was announced.
Dr. Barnes returns to Cleveland ISD with a deep sense of purpose and familiarity. A former principal of Cleveland High School, he brings not only a strong educational background but also a heartfelt connection to the district. Though his professional journey led him to other school systems, his roots in Cleveland remained firmly planted, both in residency and in spirit.
