Corsicana ISD trustees approve three campus administrator appointments after closed session

Corsicana — The Corsicana ISD Board of Trustees approved three campus administrator appointments Tuesday following a closed session held under Texas Government Code Section 551.101. The board voted to approve Jessica Ward as principal at Bowie Elementary School, Weston Grounds as assistant principal at Collins Intermediate and Melinda Anderson as assistant principal at Corsicana High School. The appointments were announced after the board recessed into closed session and then returned to open session for action. A trustee moved to approve Jessica Ward; a motion to approve Weston Grounds and a motion to approve Melinda Anderson were each seconded and put to a voice vote. The transcript records the board voice responses of “Aye,” and the chair declared the motions passed; no roll-call vote or dissenting votes are recorded in the public transcript. Board action followed a closed-session discussion permitted by Texas Government Code Section 551.101, the statute cited by the board when it adjourned into executive session. The district superintendent and trustees praised the hires and welcomed the administrators back to Corsicana ISD. No additional terms of employment, start dates, or personnel-file details were stated on the public record during the meeting. The board took no further public action tied to those appointments at the meeting; the transcript does not show additional formal motions, roll-call votes, or salary specifics for the appointees.
