Waco, TX - Waco Independent School District is proud to announce that Superintendent Dr. Tiffany Spicer has been elected to a three-year term on the Lone Star Investment Pool (LSIP) Board of Trustees. The Waco ISD Board of Trustees officially authorized her appointment with a formal board resolution, recognizing the immense value her leadership and stewardship will bring to both the investment pool and the local district.

The Lone Star Investment Pool is a premier public funds investment pool authorized under the Texas Interlocal Cooperation Act and the Public Funds Investment Act. The Board of Trustees provides vital governance, fiduciary oversight, and strategic direction for the pool, which serves numerous school districts and public entities across Texas. Dr. Spicer will serve in a volunteer, uncompensated capacity, actively representing the interests of pool members.

"I am incredibly honored to join the Lone Star Investment Pool Board of Trustees," said Dr. Spicer. "As public educators, our responsibility extends beyond the classroom to the diligent stewardship of public resources. Serving on this board allows Waco ISD to have a direct voice in the governance of these vital funds, ensuring fiscal responsibility that ultimately supports our mission of providing excellence, equity, and access for all students."

Waco ISD Board President Angelo Ochoa expressed strong support for Dr. Spicer’s appointment, highlighting how the district stands to benefit.

"Dr. Spicer's ability to blend visionary leadership with practical, results-driven governance makes her an exceptional fit for this role," Ochoa said. "Having our superintendent represent us on the LSIP Board ensures that Waco ISD remains at the forefront of public fund management, bringing valuable fiscal insights back to our community."

A Proven Track Record of Educational Leadership

Dr. Spicer joined Waco ISD as superintendent in October 2024, quickly establishing a culture of collaboration, transparency, and momentum under the district's unified brand, "Wisdom Works Wonders."

With more than two decades of experience in Texas public education, Dr. Spicer has a versatile background with leadership roles in districts of all sizes, ranging from 1,500 to 40,000 students. Her extensive career includes serving as the superintendent of Buna ISD, as well as holding critical administrative roles - such as Assistant Superintendent, Chief of Staff, Principal, and Director - in Round Rock, Leander, Del Valle, and Beeville ISDs. Notably, she made history as the first African-American principal in Leander ISD, where her campus consistently achieved high state academic distinctions.

In addition to her new role with LSIP, Dr. Spicer serves on key regional boards, including Prosper Waco and the Baylor Center for School Leadership, reflecting her deep commitment to community-driven success.
