Summary

After a closed meeting authorized by the Texas Open Meetings Act, trustees returned to open session on Sept. 6 and voted to approve amendments to the superintendent's contract; the board publicly praised Dr. Ruffin's 18 months of leadership before the vote.

Montgomery ISD trustees on Sept. 6 returned from a closed session and approved amendments to the superintendent's contract, the board announced in open session.

The board convened a closed meeting "as authorized by the Texas Open Meetings Act under the Texas Government Code sections listed on our agenda," and after returning to open session at 5:58 p.m. a trustee moved to approve the contract amendments. Trustee comments preceding the vote included praise for Doctor Ruffin’s work and campus engagement during his roughly 18 months in the district.

"Doctor Ruffin has been here over 18 months now, and I would like to say that we have appreciated so much the work that he has done and how much time he has spent on our campuses and getting to know our community," a trustee said before the board voted.

The motion carried on a voice vote recorded in open session. The transcript does not include the contract’s specific amendment language, effective date, or any compensation figures; those details were discussed in closed session and were not read into the public record during the meeting.
