Board authorizes superintendent to finalize special education settlement discussed in closed session
Summary
After closed-session discussion, the board authorized the superintendent to finalize a resolution and sign documents related to a pending special education matter.
Following closed-session discussion of a pending special education matter, the Lewisville ISD Board authorized the superintendent to finalize a settlement resolution and to sign any associated documents on behalf of the district.
Trustee Miss Sells moved that the board "authorize the superintendent to finalize the resolution associated with a special education matter as discussed in executive session and sign any resolution on behalf of the district." Doctor Bonner seconded the motion. The board recorded the vote as carrying 6–0.
The board referred to the matter only by category (a special education matter) during open session; the details discussed in closed session were not disclosed in public deliberations, consistent with the Texas Government Code provisions permitting closed deliberations on certain personnel and student matters. The board’s open-session motion authorizes the superintendent to complete and sign the resolution consistent with the board’s closed-session instructions.
The board’s public record shows the authorization vote; administration will execute the settlement paperwork and report back to the board as allowed by law.
