Greg Bradley is Prosper ISD's new superintendent. The Board of Trustees voted Wednesday morning to hire him and approve his contract, three weeks after naming him the lone finalist for the job.

The special meeting opened at 7 a.m. and adjourned at 7:05 a.m., according to minutes the district posted later that morning. No one signed up to speak during public comment. Trustee Bill Beavers made the motion and Jorden Dial seconded it. Kiwi Authers, Beavers, Kelly Cavender, Dial and Allen Rountree voted yes. Garrett Linker and David Webb were absent.

The minutes and the posted agenda do not list the contract's salary, length or Bradley's start date.

A return to Prosper

Bradley has led Ennis ISD since May 2025. Before that he worked in Prosper ISD, according to the district's announcement on Sept. 30, when the board named him lone finalist. He arrived in 2012 as principal of Reynolds Middle School, became assistant superintendent for business and operations in 2017 and served as deputy superintendent from 2020 to 2025.

In those roles, the district says, he worked on the 2019 bond election, which voters approved at $1.337 billion, and managed the construction plan for the $2.7 billion bond that passed in November 2023. He also arranged the stadium naming-rights agreement with Children's Health.

The district says the board's choice followed a search by Impact Education Specialists that included listening sessions attended by 150 people and more than 2,000 online survey responses. Texas law requires a 21-day wait between naming a lone finalist and the final vote.

When he takes over, Bradley will be the 20th superintendent in the district's history. Prosper ISD says it serves nearly 35,000 students on 32 campuses in Collin and Denton counties.

Bill McLaughlin has been acting superintendent during the search. The district said in September that he would go back to his job as deputy superintendent once Bradley starts.
