Midlothian ISD welcomes new superintendent

MIDLOTHIAN – Midlothian’s new Superintendent, Dr. David Belding, was unanimously named Superintendent of Schools of Midlothian ISD by the Board of Trustees during its Sept. 18 meeting.

Belding officially began his new position on Oct. 2, and said the entire process of joining the Midlothian ISD community has been positive. 

“Throughout this journey, we’ve been embraced by everyone we have met, making us feel genuinely welcomed,” Belding said. 

“What truly resonated with me during the interview process were the aspirations and vision shared by trustees.”  

Belding joins Midlothian ISD with 36 years of experience as a Texas public school educator, with the last seven years serving as the Aubrey ISD Superintendent. 

He brings with him experience overseeing bond programs and a Tax Ratification Election. 

In the past he also executed a balanced budget while growing fund balance saving taxpayers millions of dollars through early bond debt payments. 

“We have already seen Dr. Belding’s ability to make strong connections with our campus principals as a leader who will inspire excellence,” said Midlothian Board President Tami Tobey.  

“We are confident in his ability to successfully guide our district through growth in enrollment and academic achievement.”
