Mercedes ISD trustees approve interim superintendent agreement and separation agreement; take no action on contract termination under Texas law
Summary
The Mercedes Independent School District Board of Trustees approved an interim superintendent agreement and a separation agreement related to the superintendent and declined to act on a proposed contract termination under Texas Education Code §21.211 during a brief reconvened open session.
The Mercedes Independent School District Board of Trustees approved an interim superintendent agreement and a separation agreement related to the district superintendent during a reconvened open session at 7:13 p.m., the board recorded. Trustees also voted to take no action on a proposed termination under Texas Education Code Section 21.211.
Trustee Mr. Rodriguez seconded the motion to approve the interim superintendent agreement, and the board secretary read roll-call votes in which trustees present recorded their approval. The board then moved and seconded to approve a separation agreement pertaining to the superintendent; trustees again voted in favor and the chair declared the motion carried.
The item to propose termination of the superintendent's contract under Texas Education Code Section 21.211 (cited in the meeting as "DFBA legal") was discussed and the board announced "no action" on that item. Meeting remarks identify the legal citation by name but show the board did not pursue a formal termination under that statute at this session.
The board conducted these personnel votes without extended public discussion during the open session. Meeting minutes show multiple trustees orally recorded "aye" votes when the motions were called; the presiding officer announced the motions carried. The board adjourned at approximately 7:16 p.m.
The meeting also included a brief announcement about graduation scheduled for July 30 at Tiger Stadium and a request to monitor the district's social media for updates.
