Tyler ISD board votes to terminate Chapter 21 contract of staff member after hearing
Summary
The Tyler ISD Board approved termination of a Chapter 21 term employment contract following a hearing; the board recorded the motion, a second and an affirmative voice vote. No individual vote tallies were given in the meeting transcript.
The Tyler Independent School District Board of Trustees voted to terminate the Chapter 21 term employment contract of Laura Cawley after a hearing and recommendation presented during the meeting.
The board president called for a motion after reporting there was action to take from executive session. A board member moved “that the board terminate Ms. Cawley’s Chapter 21 term employment contract for good cause including outrageous insubordination, abandonment of her position, and complete failure to perform the duties of her job.” A second was recorded and the president called for the ayes; the motion carried by voice vote.
The board’s motion and the recorded result were the only formal public action on the personnel matter during the session; the transcript provides the motion text and that the motion passed by the board’s affirmative voice vote but does not list individual yes/no votes or identify the mover or seconder by name. The board did not state further specifics about disciplinary process, appeal rights, or effective date in the public portion of the record provided in the transcript.
The board proceeded to the rest of the agenda after announcing the motion carried.
