Wimberley ISD has named a new director of transportation: Shad Scharlach.

The WISD Board of Trustees unanimously approved the selection at its meeting on Monday, Feb. 27. Scharlach was previously serving as an assistant principal at Wimberley High School.

“I’m thrilled to be taking on this new challenge, while being able to stay at work in the district I love,” Scharlach said. “I look forward to building upon the consistency and reliability that already exists within our Transportation Department and can’t wait to team up with our wonderful drivers, monitors, and other personnel to serve our students and families.”

Scharlach is in his 12th year at WISD and has 26 years of experience in the education field. Prior to his role as assistant principal at WHS, he was previously employed in the district as the Accelerated Education Program director and as an assistant principal at Danforth Junior High. He also worked as an administrator in Smithville ISD and Llano ISD.

“Shad’s knowledge and experience within WISD and the Wimberley community will be an asset as he transitions to the Transportation Director position,” says WISD Superintendent Dr. Greg Bonewald. “His attention to detail and thoughtfulness regarding processes and scheduling will be a benefit to the department and positively impact our student and family experiences.”

In addition to positions in administration, Scharlach was a teacher for 13 years as well as a head basketball coach and athletic coordinator. He also founded, owned and operated a small business in recreation for 10 years.

WISD has now begun the process to seek a new assistant principal for WHS, and Scharlach will transition to his new role over the course of the spring semester.
