The Paradise ISD Board of Trustees on Monday night appointed current assistant superintendent Robyn Gibson to become the district's acting superintendent following the departure of Will Brewer.

Gibson will take over as the district's leader on May 31, the day after Brewer's resignation from PISD goes into effect. Brewer is leaving Paradise after 2 1/2 years to become the superintendent at Jim Ned CISD.

Trustees voted unanimously on both accepting Brewer's resignation and naming Gibson as acting superintendent.

Gibson is in her 29th year of education, with the last 12 spent in Paradise. She has also held administrator positions in Bridgeport and Keller ISDs.

Board president Dr. Shannon Caddell said her various roles in Paradise ISD make Gibson a uniquely qualified candidate to lead the district in a time of transition.

"I'm very excited and honored that the board had the confidence and the faith for me to take this position," Gibson said. "I'm also excited for the district -- it's one less transition and change that we have to make when we have a lot of success and things that are going right. We can continue that without worrying about big changes in administration."

As acting superintendent, Gibson said her goal is the seeing the completion of the new high school and smoothly transitioning the other campuses to new locations once the project is completed.

She also wants to continue to see the success of athletics and academics -- which reached historic marks over the last handful of years -- while keeping the two in balance.

"Other than those, we're fortunate that Paradise is not in need of any big changes right now," Gibson said.

A search process and hiring timeline for the next full-time superintendent has not yet been discussed in detail by the board.
