WICHITA FALLS (KFDX/KJTL) — The Wichita Falls Independent School District met during a special session Monday afternoon and announced that they had selected a new superintendent for the district.
The announcement was made that Dr. Donny Lee was chosen unanimously as the next superintendent for the district.
Dr. Lee is coming to Wichita Falls from Buna Independent School District, a 3A district in Buna, Texas. Dr. Lee has served as the superintendent in Buna since April 2019. During his tenure there, Dr. Lee has increased academic performance and has improved fiscal management.

Dr. Lee earned his doctorate in educational leadership from Lamar University, where he also earned his master’s degree in educational administration. He earned his bachelor’s degree in special education and kinesiology from Stephen F. Austin State University according to a press release from WFISD.
