After returning from closed session on Aug. 27, the La Jolla ISD Board of Managers approved a motion to propose termination of Chapter 21 term contract employees and to authorize the superintendent to send notices of proposed termination.

The motion was moved and seconded during open session; board members present signaled approval and the board chair declared, "Motion carries." The transcript records the motion and the roll call earlier in the meeting indicates a quorum with the following board members present: Jessica Chua; Carlos Margo; Anita Chavez; Alyssa Pena; Rosalba Hernandez; and Cecil Loma Jr.

What happened: The item followed an executive session held under the Texas Government Code sections cited in the meeting; the board returned to open session and acted on Item 10.1 to authorize the termination notices. No individual employee names or personnel details were read into the public record at that time.

Board action and next steps: The board’s approval authorized the superintendent to send the required statutory notices to affected employees under Chapter 21 of the Texas Education Code. Any further employment action, hearings, or statutory appeal rights would proceed according to Chapter 21 procedures and timelines, which were referenced but not read in detail in open session.

Records: The board did not record an individual roll‑call vote in the transcript; the chair invited those present to say "aye," and the chair stated the motion carried. The district will follow the statutory notice procedures for Chapter 21 term contract employees.
