PLANO, Texas - The Plano Independent School District will soon have a new superintendent.
In a special meeting Monday morning, the board of trustees unanimously voted to name its lone finalist, Dr. Theresa Williams, as its new superintendent.

"To Dr. Williams, I promise a smooth transition. I will hand over my dream job in my hometown into her car. I know she will put students first at the center of her decisions and do what is right for our children in the Plano ISD community," said Sara Bonser, the outgoing superintendent.
Williams is the current deputy superintendent and chief operating officer for Plano ISD.
As superintendent, she will lead the district’s 73 campuses and 6,500 employees.
