Dr. Jeff Pack from Dickinson ISD was named the lone finalist for superintendent following a special called meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Livingston Independent School District Monday. By law, the board must now wait 21 days before voting to hire Pack as the new superintendent.
“My family and I look forward to joining LISD,” Pack said.
The board followed a lengthy process in determining the finalist, having hired Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) Executive Search Services on Feb. 3 to direct the superintendent search. TASB consultants met with staff and community groups during February to discuss the desired leadership qualities of the new superintendent. The profile developed from these meetings was used by the board and consultants in evaluating the applicants for the position.
Six applicants were initially chosen for interviews with three being invited back for a second interview. Following the required 21-day waiting period, the board will vote to offer a contract to Pack.
Pack has served Dickinson ISD as a cabinet-level executive for the last six years. He is the deputy superintendent for educational services and has served in that role since 2021. He was the assistant superintendent for administration, the executive director for data quality and accountability, and the director for assessment, accountability and compliance. He started his career at Dickinson ISD as the associate principal and then junior high principal. He also served as a high school assistant principal in Alvin ISD and as a chemistry teacher at Galena Park High School.
“As a visionary educational leader with a passion for student success, I serve as deputy superintendent, providing comprehensive oversight across multiple areas including: curriculum and instruction, digital learning, GT/advanced academics, special education, bilingual education, career and technical education, teacher development, leadership development, assessment and accountability, instructional materials, libraries, and data quality/information systems,” Pack said.
“With a track record of excellence, I combine strategic planning, data analysis, and curriculum management to drive continuous improvement and innovation. I lead transformative change, drive policy updates, contribute to board agendas, and ensure compliance with legal requirements while optimizing district assets and accountability. I excel at team building and training, fostering a culture of collaboration, learning, and growth that supports student achievement and the district’s educational mission,” Pack said.
He will replace Interim Superintendent Janan Moore, who was appointed to fill the vacancy left with the January resignation of Dr. Brent E. Hawkins who took the superintendent’s job at Copperas Cove ISD. The longest-tenured superintendent in Livingston ISD’s 117-year history, Hawkins served as LISD superintendent from 2014-2025.
