With over 30 years of distinguished leadership experience in the field of Deaf Education, Bailey brings a wealth of knowledge to his role as superintendent. Throughout his career, he\u2019s held influential positions at a number of esteemed institutions, including The Learning Center for the Deaf in Massachusetts, Maryland School for the Deaf, Delaware School for the Deaf, Texas School for the Deaf, and Connecticut\u2019s American School for the Deaf. Most recently, he was superintendent at the Pennsylvania School for the Deaf in Philadelphia.<\/p>\n

With a bachelor\u2019s degree in Human Services and a master\u2019s in Organizational Management and Leadership from Massachusetts\u2019 Springfield College, Bailey\u2019s educational achievements coupled with his professional experience, readies him to lead TSD with excellence.<\/p>\n

Bailey succeeds Claire Bugen, who was TSD\u2019s superintendent for over 25 years. Under Bugen\u2019s leadership, the school experienced remarkable growth and achieved significant milestones. Both the TSD and Deaf communities express their deep gratitude to Bugen for her indelible dedication and commitment to the success of students as well as school staff.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am deeply honored to assume the position of superintendent at the Texas School for the Deaf, says Bailey.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am excited to build upon the outstanding foundation established by superintendent Bugen and work collaboratively with the dedicated TSD staff, parents, and supportive community to empower Texas students to reach their full potential.<\/p>\n

\u201cTogether, TSD will continue to provide an inclusive and exceptional educational experience for all students.\u201d<\/p>\n
