Keller ISD

Administrator departs

Vicki Burris, assistant superintendent of business operations, is leaving Keller to take a similar position in the Fort Worth school district. Burris came to Keller in 2007 from Fort Worth ISD.

Keller district officials will not replace Burris but will assign her duties to existing staff. Burris worked part-time in Keller on a contract basis after the full-time position was eliminated in 2011 budget cuts.
