Brazosport ISD has named Kelly Lackey as the district's new Chief Financial Officer.
Mrs. Lackey brings more than 25 years of finance and accounting leadership experience across the public and private sectors. She previously served as Brazosport ISD's Director of Finance from 2017 to 2022 before taking on leadership roles with Wood, where she served as Senior Finance Manager for Governance and Controls.
"We are excited to welcome Kelly Lackey back to Brazosport ISD," Superintendent Danny Massey said. "She knows our district, our community, and the importance of being good stewards of taxpayer resources. Kelly is a respected financial leader whose experience, integrity, and commitment to excellence make her the right person to help lead our district's financial future as we continue serving students, staff, and families."
As Chief Financial Officer, Lackey will oversee the district's financial operations, including budgeting, accounting, payroll, purchasing, financial reporting and long-range financial planning. She will work closely with district leadership to ensure responsible fiscal management while supporting the district's mission of preparing every student for success.
During her previous tenure with Brazosport ISD, Lackey directed financial and accounting operations for a district of more than 1,800 employees. She led campus and department budget development, coordinated annual independent audits, developed fiscal management procedures and helped ensure financial operations aligned with district goals.
Since leaving the district, Lackey has expanded her expertise in corporate finance and governance. At Wood, she strengthened financial governance, risk management and internal controls while partnering with global finance leaders to improve operational effectiveness and compliance.
"I am honored by the opportunity to serve as Chief Financial Officer and grateful for the chance to return to Brazosport ISD. I look forward to supporting the district's mission while working alongside such a dedicated team to serve our students, staff and community," Lackey shared.
She holds a Master of Business Administration and a Master of Healthcare Administration from the University of Houston-Clear Lake, along with a Bachelor of Science in Finance from the University of Houston-Clear Lake.
Lackey is replacing Ludivina Cansino, who has accepted the same position with Round Rock ISD.
