Under Texas law, the board cannot formally hire Lorenz for at least 21 days following the public notice.
The board is expected to take a final vote at its April 27 meeting.
“I am both honored and humbled to be named the lone finalist for Superintendent of Medina Valley Independent School District,” Lorenz said. “I am truly excited for the opportunity to serve and support the students, staff, and community of this exceptional district.”
Lorenz brings two decades of educational leadership, holding roles as assistant superintendent, director of curriculum, and educational specialist at Region 20 before becoming Calallen’s superintendent in 2022.
The announcement comes after current superintendent Scott Caloss said he was retiring from public education after 34 years, the district announced in February. His last day will be June 30.
Lorenz said she is “committed to creating opportunities, fostering success, and continuing to move the district forward.”
“Together, we will build upon the district’s many strengths,” Lorenz said, “while embracing opportunities for growth and innovation.”
