Dr Peter Licata has been named the new Superintendent for Fort Worth ISD. Licata, a veteran educator and school superintendent with more than 30 years of experience improving outcomes for students. He most recently served as the Superintendent and CEO of Broward County Public Schools, the sixth-largest school district in the United States, with more than 250,000 students and 32,000 staff members. Dr. Licata led that district to its first state “A” rating in more than 14 years and eliminated all “D” and “F” schools.
Dr. Licata’s focus for FWISD is simple and unwavering: every student reading on grade level, mastering mathematics, and graduating prepared for college, career, or military service in a system strong enough to sustain that success long after state intervention ends.
