(Converse) — The Judson Independent School District is moving forward under new day-to-day leadership following action taken by the school board over the weekend, and that new leadership is a familiar face to those of us here in Guadalupe County.
Judson ISD Superintendent Milton Fields has been placed on paid administrative leave.
The district says Assistant Superintendent of Technology Dr. Lacey Gosch will now serve as interim superintendent, overseeing the district’s daily operations.
Dr. Gosch is well-known locally as a Guadalupe County resident and a longtime member of the Navarro ISD Board of Trustees.
Judson ISD officials have not released many details about the decision, citing confidential personnel matters, and said the board would not be commenting further.
The Judson ISD board did not take action to terminate Fields’ contract, and one trustee noted that Fields could potentially return to the position depending on the outcome of an unnamed investigation.
