"Brent is an innovative leader and an experienced school administrator, and I am excited to welcome him to the Allen ISD team," said Superintendent Dr. Robin Bullock. "The daily operations of our school district are critical. These departments touch nearly every facet of the school day, including maintaining campus facilities, serving meals to students, running bus and shuttle routes, and providing safe learning environments at each campus. I look forward to working alongside Brent as he provides guidance and support in each of these integral areas.”
