SCUC ISD board approves multiple personnel actions, policy updates and district business items; several personnel nonrenewals approved
Summary
Trustees approved the consent agenda, updated policies, the 2025–26 calendar, instructional-materials certification, employee voluntary benefits and multiple personnel actions after closed-session deliberations; terminations and proposed nonrenewal votes passed 7-0.
The Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City Independent School District Board of Trustees on Tuesday approved a series of consent and action items that included personnel approvals, policy updates and district business items.
The board approved the consent agenda (items A–I) by a 7-0 vote. Later action votes included updates to board policy DED (paid-holiday determination for 260-day employees), approval of board policy CCA (debt management policy moved from regulation to board local policy), adoption of the 2025–26 board meeting calendar (draft 2), and certification of the district's provision of instructional materials to the Texas Education Agency for the 2025–26 school year. Each of those items passed on voice votes announced by President Edward Finley.
The board also accepted a recommendation to award employee voluntary-benefit contracts following a district RFP; staff said the solicitation covered dental, vision, cancer, critical-illness, accident and other voluntary coverages. The award recommendation was approved 7-0.
Several personnel items discussed in closed session under Texas Government Code section 551.074 were returned to the board for public action. Ms. Ward presented routine employment reports and recommended board approval of the employment list for term, continuing noncertified, district-of-innovation and probationary personnel for the 2025–26 school year; the board approved the list 7-0.
The board also voted on two personnel actions discussed in closed session: a motion to terminate the probationary contract of certified employee Christopher Domkowski "in the best interest of the district," and a motion to propose nonrenewal of the term contract of Claudia Moreno. Trustees approved both actions by 7-0 votes; the administration was authorized to provide the legally required notice to the employees.
Separately, the board discussed selection of an auditor for the statutory efficiency audit required before seeking voter approval of a maintenance-and-operations tax-rate increase; staff said the item will return next month for board action.
Board members and staff emphasized that personnel matters had been discussed in closed session and that formal action taken in open session reflected the board's final decisions. No additional details about the grounds for the personnel nonrenewals or termination were discussed in public at the meeting.
