PSJA ISD board votes to propose nonrenewal of Chapter 21 term contract for employee identified as "FB"

The Pharr-San Juan-Alamo Independent School District Board of Trustees voted Monday, May 19, 2025, to propose the nonrenewal of a Chapter 21 term contract for an employee identified only by the initials “FB.” The vote took place at a noon meeting at the PSJA Central Administration Building in Pharr.

The item appeared under human resources. Doug Kyrgios, a district staff member, told the board the agenda included “item 4 under human resources, and it's discussion and possible action to propose nonrenewal of chapter 21 term contract for FB.” The board then moved into executive session under the Texas Open Meetings Act and related provisions of the Texas Government Code and returned to open session at 12:24 p.m., after which a motion was made and approved.

“Madam chairman, I move to propose the non renewal of the chapter 21 term contract of f b,” Doug Kyrgios said when he moved the motion in open session. The motion was seconded by Trustee Baron. After members were asked to indicate their votes, members responded “aye.” A board member identified as Chris announced joining during the vote. The board chair said there were no opposing votes and the motion carried.

There were no public comments recorded for the meeting. The board opened its meeting with the pledge and an invocation and then proceeded to the human-resources item that led to the closed-session discussion. The meeting concluded shortly after the vote.

The district did not provide additional details in the meeting transcript about the employee’s identity beyond the initials “FB,” the specific grounds for the proposed nonrenewal, or whether the proposed nonrenewal is final or subject to further administrative procedures. The board cited board policy BEC (Local) and state statutes pertaining to closed meetings when convening the executive session.
