Belton ISD board approves notices to propose termination for two employees in closed session
Summary
In closed session the board accepted the superintendent's recommendations to propose termination and suspend without pay two employees and directed staff to prepare final notices and notify the district's attorneys; votes were unanimous.
The Belton Independent School District Board of Trustees in closed session voted to accept the superintendent's recommendations to propose termination and suspension without pay pending termination for two employees and directed staff to prepare and deliver final notices.
The board voted to accept the recommended actions involving Esteban Banda (probationary contract employee) and Logan Diminy (term contract employee). For each case the board directed the superintendent to prepare final written notices of proposed contract termination and suspension without pay, to include the time limits and procedures for requesting a hearing before an independent hearing examiner under the Texas Education Code, and to notify the district's outside counsel. The motions were recorded as passing by unanimous votes (7–0).
Because the actions occurred in closed session, the board did not discuss details of the personnel matters in public; the agenda cites Texas Government Code Section 551.082 for student-discipline and personnel confidentiality and Section 551.071 and 551.076 for attorney consultation and security-audit discussion, respectively. The board directed that copies of the motions and final notices be attached to the meeting minutes.
