High school ‘grant shepherd’ named new Marble Falls ISD assistant superintendent

MARBLE FALLS — Though named this week as the incoming assistant superintendent of academic programs, Janice Mauldin is not new to the Marble Falls Independent School District.

Trustees during the board meeting Jan. 23 voted to hire Mauldin for the spot being vacated in March by Amy Jacobs, who is leaving to take over as superintendent of Coahoma ISD near Midland.

Mauldin, however, has been working at Marble Falls High School since August as the “grant shepherd” for the Texas Title 1 Priority Schools funding. She has been helping with an academic “redesign” of the campus ever since the Texas Education Agency awarded the multimillion-dollar grant.
