In addition to his educational experience in BISD, Wells taught and coached in Fort Worth ISD and Lampasas ISD.
“We congratulate Jason and thank him for the 21 years of service to the students, parents, staff, and community of BISD,” Superintendent Dr. Gayle Stinson said. “He is a phenomenal leader and Bluff Dale ISD made an excellent choice in Mr. Wells. I wish him well in this new chapter of his career.”
Wells will continue in his role at Birdville High through the end of May. The District will begin the search for a new campus leader during this time.
