Board names committee for new middle school and approves Zavala Elementary principal hire after closed session
Summary
Trustees appointed two citizens to the middle‑school naming committee and, after a closed session, approved Denise De Lavera as principal at Zavala Elementary for 2025–26.
The board approved trustees’ recommendations for naming‑committee membership for the new middle school and later approved a personnel hire recommended in closed session.
Trustees selected community members Wayne Byrd and Kevin Searcy to serve on the new middle‑school naming committee. The board took a motion, received a second and voted in favor of the appointments during the meeting’s action items.
After convening in closed session under the Texas Open Meetings Act for personnel and legal consultation, the board returned to open session and approved the recommendation to hire Denise De Lavera as principal at Zavala Elementary School beginning with the 2025–26 school year. The superintendent presented the recommendation; the board moved and voted to approve the hire.
The motions carried by voice vote; the transcript records the motion, second and voice approval but does not contain a roll‑call tally by individual trustee names in the public record segment.
