Lynn Jameson named Aledo ISD Executive Director of Special Programs
Lynn Jameson has been named the executive director of Special Programs for Aledo ISD, bringing more than 27 years of experience working with special education students, including more than a dozen years in leadership roles.
“Finding someone with Mrs. Jameson’s experience can be extremely difficult, so we are very grateful to have found a leader with the expertise she has to serve our special education students and staff,” Aledo ISD Superintendent Dr. Susan Bohn said. “I know her knowledge and significant leadership capacity will have a huge positive impact on this very important, significant and complex program, but equally so will her deep commitment to students with special needs, the staff who serve them, and the families who raise them.”
Jameson will fill the position as Lynn McKinney, retired Aledo ISD deputy superintendent and namesake of McKinney Elementary, steps away from her interim role as the executive director that she has held since July. McKinney will assist Jameson in the transition when Jameson officially joins AISD in mid-October.
“Even after giving 37 years of her life to our students and staff and this community and while she was thoroughly enjoying her retirement life, Lynn McKinney felt the pull to come back and give even more to our Bearcat family,” Bohn said. “All I had to do was ask. Once a Bearcat, always a Bearcat! We are so grateful for her stepping back in and for the work she will continue to put in to ensure a smooth transition and continuous support for our special programs staff and students.”
Jameson has been the executive director of special education in Keller ISD since 2021. Prior to that, she was the executive director of special education in Castleberry ISD for six years. Jameson has worked in Mansfield ISD as an educational diagnostician, a lead educational diagnostician and a special education coordinator. She was an educational diagnostician and American Sign Language teacher in Arlington ISD, and an ASL or Deaf/Hard of Hearing teacher in Fort Worth ISD, Plano ISD and at Tarrant County College.
“I am honored to join the Aledo ISD as the executive director of special programs,” said Jameson, who will join the district in mid-October. “I look forward to working together to serve the students and families, support the dedicated teachers and staff, and contribute toward the momentum of growing greatness in everything we do.”
In her time serving special education students, Jameson has vast experience ensuring compliance with IDEA and state and federal regulations, overseeing ARD processes, administering grant funds and the department budget, supporting program evaluation and compliance reporting, and leading a large staff while ensuring consistent program quality, compliance and student support.
“I am excited to have Mrs. Jameson joining the district to continue the momentum we have after a fantastic start to the new school year,” McKinney said. “It has been my privilege to be a part of such an impressive group of dedicated educators and to serve our Bearcats in this way. I know Mrs. Jameson will be welcomed with open arms and will be All In for our special programs department.”
Jameson has a bachelor’s and master’s from Texas Woman’s University, and she is a candidate for her doctorate in educational leadership from Liberty University with expected completion this fall. She is a member of the Texas Council of Administrators for Special Education and is the House Delegate for Region 11 for the organization, a position nominated and voted on by fellow Region 11 TCASE members and special education directors.
