Comal ISD board authorizes superintendent, counsel to proceed on proposed termination of employee

The Comal Independent School District Board of Trustees on Thursday voted 7-0 to authorize the superintendent and the district’s legal counsel to proceed as discussed in closed session on a proposed termination involving employee Tyler Thrash. Board member Mister Croner moved the authorization and a second was recorded; the motion carried unanimously. The matter was discussed in closed session under Texas Government Code sections cited on the meeting agenda, including attorney consultation and personnel deliberations. The meeting agenda described the topic as "possible proposed termination, Tyler Thrash's probationary contract during the contract period for good cause." The board returned to open session and took the authorization motion without further public discussion. The board did not read details of the closed-session discussion in open session. The superintendent and legal counsel were authorized to proceed “as discussed in closed session,” language used in the motion recorded in the minutes. No additional public documents or legal filings about the case were presented during open session.
