The Denton ISD Board of Trustees on June 17, 2025, delegated authority to the superintendent to hire a chief communications and marketing officer and to execute any documents needed to complete the hire.

The board initially removed the chief communications and marketing officer item from the consent agenda at the start of the meeting; Trustee Burns asked that the recommendation be pulled while the hiring process continued. The remaining consent agenda was approved without that item in a motion moved by Trustee Taze and seconded by Trustee English; the board recorded the vote as unanimous.

Later the board held a closed session and then returned to open session in the afternoon. In open session Trustee Chayes moved that the board delegate authority to the superintendent to employ a chief communications and marketing officer and to execute necessary documents. The transcript includes a later statement attributing the motion to Trustee Taze with a second from Dr. Dunmer; the board then approved the delegation and recorded the vote as unanimous. The transcript does not specify the superintendent’s name, the candidate, salary, or a hiring timeline.

The record indicates the board intends to allow the superintendent to complete the personnel hiring step administratively rather than by a separate board vote; no further implementation details or dates were provided in open session.
