Summary
The Royse City ISD board introduced three district hires: Melissa Harvey as Executive Director of Student Services, Dr. Kelsey Bowles as director of special education, and Kyle Causey as director of fine arts. Each spoke briefly and the board welcomed them.
Royse City ISD on Tuesday introduced three administrative hires the board said will support student services, special education and fine arts across the district.
Dr. Squalls announced Melissa Harvey will serve as the district’s new executive director of student services. Harvey said, "I'm so grateful for this opportunity... The work has always been about the people and the students," and thanked the board and community for the welcome.
The board also introduced Dr. Kelsey Bowles as the incoming director of special education. Dr. Squalls described Bowles’ experience with IDEA and Section 504 compliance and said she had previously moved a campus from a B to an A rating; Bowles told the board, "It's an honor to stand before you... I'm extremely honored to serve our students, and our families, and our campuses in this capacity."
Kyle Causey, the new director of fine arts, was recognized for 15 years in education and region‑level awards; Causey said he was "super excited" and thanked the district for the opportunity. Board members repeatedly praised hiring from within and said the new leaders align with the district’s focus on growing leadership.
The hires follow routine approval of personnel items the board took out of closed session earlier in the meeting.
