After a closed‑session discussion of personnel, the Vidor Independent School District Board of Trustees reconvened in open session on July 28 and approved the hiring of an assistant principal for Vidar Middle School.

A trustee moved to approve the hire and another seconded; the motion passed 5‑0 with two trustees absent. The meeting record does not disclose the candidate’s name in open session.

What happens next: the district will complete onboarding and administrative steps for the new assistant principal as part of school leadership staffing prior to the start of the school year.
