Cuero ISD Supt. Micah Dyer left the district after nine years of service Friday, March 27, and the Board of Trustees is expected to soon name an interim superintendent.
Assistant Superintendent Kim Fleener reportedly is standing in for Dyer in the meantime.
The Bullard ISD Board of Trustees named Dyer as the lone finalist to head that school district in East Texas during a Feb. 24 meeting. BISD officials said in a press release they expected him to take over after the state mandatory 21day waiting period.
Cuero ISD held a reception thanking Dyer for his “dedication and service to the school district and the community” and “to wish him the very best” on March 24.
Dyer, who said he planned to immediately begin work in Bullard, told the Cuero Record last week that he and his wife Jamie, who also was employed by CISD, were looking forward to returning to his East Texas roots.
“I have always planned to return to East Texas at some point,” said Dyer, who noted he had lived and worked in several areas in Texas during his career.
Dyer joined CISD in 2017, and he earned the Education Service Center Region 3 Superintendent of the Year award during that time, according to his biography released by BISD. Under his leadership, Cuero ISD received its first Texas Education Agency “A” rating in the district's history. Additionally, Cuero created the most Career and Technical Education programs of study of any district in the region and consistently earned one of the highest Career, College, and Military Readiness ratings in the region and the state.
Before Cuero ISD, he served as superintendent in Lovelady ISD for seven years. While at Lovelady, the district was one of only two in the region to receive an 'Exemplary' rating. From 2001 to 2010, Dr. Dyer held various roles, including teacher, coach, assistant principal, principal, and DAEP director in Kirbyville, Trinity, Kennard, and Huntington.
Dyer attended Kilgore College before ultimately earning a bachelor’s degree from Kansas Wesleyan University. He went on to earn both his master’s and doctorate degrees from Stephen F. Austin State University.
