MISD Board Names Lone Finalist for Superintendent

Dr. Angelica Ramsey

January 14, 2021 — The Midland ISD Board of Trustees has named Dr. Angelica Ramsey as their lone finalist to be the district’s next superintendent.

The announcement came Thursday after the board completed its second round of interviews and voted unanimously to name Ramsey.

“We are very excited by what Dr. Ramsey can bring to our district, and we look forward to her joining in our mission to ensure all students are prepared and ready for college or career,” said Rick Davis, Board President.

After receiving interest from numerous candidates, the board narrowed the pool to five, then to three. From there, the board determined Ramsey was the best choice to the lead the district.

“All board members are thoroughly impressed with Dr. Ramsey’s track record of academic improvement, and we feel she will be a great fit not only in our district, but in the Midland community,” Davis said.

Dr. Ramsey is currently the Superintendent of Schools for Pleasant Valley School District in Camarillo, CA. Ramsey has deep ties to Texas: the UTEP graduate spent a decade with Socorro ISD in El Paso.

Dr. Ramsey holds a Bachelor’s Degree from the University of the Pacific, a Master’s Degree from the University of Texas at El Paso, and a Doctorate in Educational Leadership from Liberty University. Prior to her Superintendency, Ramsey held positions as an Assistant Superintendent, Chief Academic Officer, High School Principal, Assistant Principal, and Teacher.

“I am excited and honored to be joining the Midland ISD team,” said Dr. Ramsey. “I look forward to meeting with and learning from the Board, our students, teachers, staff, and the entire community as we work to build a new era of excellence,” she added.

The board will wait a period of 21 days before voting on the hire. A date has not been set for the vote.

Environmental Quality has required the Ector County Utility District/PWS ID# 0680235
public water system to notify all customers within the area indicated on the attached
map to boil their water prior to consumption (e.g., washing hands/face, brushing teeth,

other suitable source for drinking water or human consumption purposes.
When it is no longer necessary to boil the water, the public water system officials will
notify customers that the water is safe for drinking water or human consumption
purposes.
Once the boil water notice is no longer in effect, the public water system will issue a
notice to customers that rescinds the boil water notice in a manner similar to this

January 14, 2021 — For newly elected Katie Joyner, being a member of the Midland ISD Board of Trustees means working to build students’ confidence in their futures.

“Our children deserve schools that are safe and offer amazing academics and equal opportunities for success,” Joyner said. “All MISD alumni should be confident they’ll be ready for their next steps in life because they know they received a great education.”

The district is individually highlighting school board members throughout January as part of School Board Recognition Month, which recognizes the crucial role an elected board of trustees plays in our communities and schools.

Joyner is a Midland native and graduated from Midland High School in 2000, where she was part of the tennis team and yearbook staff. She received her Bachelor of Science in Radio-Television-Film from the University of Texas at Austin in 2003, after which she headed west to pursue a career in the entertainment industry.

In Los Angeles, Joyner served as a Drama Development Coordinator for NBC Universal’s Drama Development department, which is focused on creating new slates of fall television shows. She also spent time working on the reality competition show “America’s Next Top Model” for the CW Network. Joyner later worked in Austin for advertising agency T3 and in project management for Veritas 321 Energy Partners in Midland until before starting her family in 2010. She is now a philanthropist and has taught yoga for more than 10 years.

Joyner is actively involved in the community. She is a member of First Presbyterian Church, where she has been a vacation bible study chairwoman. She is president of the Midland Memorial Hospital Forum Board and previously served on the Midland YMCA board. Joyner also has been heavily involved with Bynum School, including service as co-chair for the school’s Smash Tennis Tournament.

Joining the MISD school board is an extension of her passion for the Midland community and its children. “We have to provide children the opportunity to succeed in their pursuit of college, career or military service after graduation,” she said.

Joyner and her husband, Dave, are UT-Austin Texas Exes. They have two daughters: Fay and Willa. Katie’s parents, Bill and Kathy Wallace, still reside in Midland.

District 4 generally extends from east Midland to southwest Midland. “My district is unique in that it covers a very wide stretch of the community, and I’m excited to serve such a diverse group of families and campuses,” Joyner said.

Trischitti credits education for setting his course for success after high school and being community-minded. “I am an example of the power that education can have on a life,” he said, adding that part of his work as a trustee is to find solutions to overcome the hurdles families might face that can stifle student growth. “We need to find tools that break the difficult social and economic cycles we sometimes find ourselves in,” he said. “We need to provide the best possible education that equips students for success.”

A Lubbock native, Trischitti graduated from Coronado High School. He received his Bachelor of Arts degree from Wayland Baptist University in 2000 and received his Master of Library Science from the University of North Texas in 2009.
