Summary
The Lake Travis Independent School District Board of Trustees voted to approve an employment contract for Dr. Curtis Null, naming him superintendent effective June 2, 2025, and authorized the board president to execute the agreement with non‑substantive edits by general counsel.
The Lake Travis Independent School District Board of Trustees voted to approve an employment contract with Dr. Curtis Null, the lone finalist for superintendent, with an effective start date of June 2, 2025. The board authorized the board president to execute the agreement and allowed the district general counsel to make non‑substantive conforming edits.
The action follows remarks at the meeting thanking outgoing interim superintendent Dr. Flores for his recent service to the district. Trustees praised Flores for providing stability and visibility on campuses during a transitional period. Several trustees also welcomed Dr. Null and expressed confidence in his leadership.
Trustee Keeley moved that the board "approve the employment contract with the lone finalist for superintendent of schools, Dr. Curtis Null, substantially in the form presented in closed session, with an effective start date of 06/02/2025 and authorize the board president to execute the agreement and the general counsel to make any non substantive conforming edits required for legal sufficiency." The motion was seconded by Trustee Phil and approved by the board. Board President White characterized the hiring as having unanimous board support.
Dr. Curtis Null addressed trustees and members of the public after the vote, said his family will relocate to the district and confirmed his official start date: "I will officially be here to start on June 2, and we'll hit the ground running in the summer." He described his outlook for the district and said one word will guide him each year: "the word you're gonna hear every year ... it's love."
Outgoing interim superintendent Dr. Flores spoke briefly and framed his service as a commitment to public education: "it's about service," he said, and thanked the board and staff for their support during his tenure.
The board concluded its meeting shortly after the appointment. No other formal actions related to the superintendent search were taken at this session.
The approved contract was described in the motion as "substantially in the form presented in closed session." The board earlier announced there would be no closed session that morning; the motion text indicates the contract terms had been finalized prior to the public vote and left minor legal edits to counsel.
