Austin ISD Superintendent Stephanie Elizalde has named Larry Throm as the district's new Chief Business Officer.

Throm will begin his role in Austin ISD on Monday and will oversee both the finance and operations divisions.

During his 40-year career, mostly in school finance, Throm has worked in similar roles in six other districts, most notably in Austin under Superintendent Pat Forgione, and in the Dallas and Lubbock ISDs. In addition, he previously worked for Austin-based school finance consultants Moak, Casey & Associates.
