KISD Welcomes a New Face, Dr. Lori Blaylock

We are excited to introduce Dr. Lori Blaylock.  Dr. Blaylock accepted the Assistant Superintendent position at KISD.  Dr. Blaylock, an Assistant Superintendent for eight years, brings experience from both district personnel and curriculum.

"Lori will bring a wealth of knowledge & experience to the position of Asst. Superintendent.  She brings a commitment to quality and excellence from her tenure as Asst. Superintendent at Canton ISD, where they earned an "Exemplary" rating from TEA last year," said Todd Williams, KISD Superintendent.

Dr. Blaylock began her career in education in 1987 and has had several roles, including teacher, counselor, director of curriculum and director of instruction technology.  She has also authored and co-authored several technology funding grants.

Blaylock received her Bachelor of Science degree from The University of Texas at Tyler with a major in secondary education in 1987 and a Master of Science degree in interdisciplinary studies from The University of Texas in Tyler in 1994. In 2004, Blaylock earned a Doctor of Education degree from Texas A&M Commerce.  She also earned the M. B. Nelson dissertation award.  

"Two things attracted me to Kaufman.  First, I have worked closely with Kathy Covington and Todd Williams for many years but never within the same district.  I have always had the utmost respect for their character and willingness to serve others within the educational arena.  Because of their leadership, I knew that Kaufman ISD would be a great place to work.  Second, the location and country atmosphere of Kaufman fits our family lifestyle.  We look forward to becoming active members of the Kaufman community," said Dr. Lori Blaylock.

Dr. Lori Blaylock and her husband David currently reside in Kaufman. They have two married sons David, Jr. and wife Erin; Nick and wife Emily and one 11-month old granddaughter Eden.
