Summary
The Waxahachie Independent School District Board of Trustees voted unanimously to hire Rebecca "Becky" McCutchen as superintendent and approved the superintendent's contract following a closed-session discussion under the Texas Government Code.
The Waxahachie Independent School District Board of Trustees voted 5-0 to hire Rebecca "Becky" McCutchen as the district's superintendent and to approve the terms of her contract after a closed-session discussion under the Texas Government Code.
Trustee Timmerman moved the hiring motion, saying, "I move that the board of trustees hire Miss Rebecca Becky McCutchen as the superintendent of Waxahachie ISD and approve the terms of the superintendent contract as discussed in closed session." Trustee Kriegel seconded the motion. The board chair called for the vote; the motion carried 5-0.
Board members conducted the contract discussion in closed session under Texas Government Code §551.001 et seq., and the public meeting record indicates that the contract terms were discussed in that closed session. The board's public minutes and the audio transcript do not state the contract details or financial terms in open session. After the vote, trustees welcomed McCutchen and the board moved to adjourn.
The vote and approval are formal board actions: the board both appointed McCutchen to the superintendent position and approved the contract terms discussed behind closed doors. The meeting record shows brief public action on this item and a separate motion to adjourn, which carried by the same recorded unanimous vote.
