SCUC ISD approves two campus principals in unanimous votes
Summary
The Schertz‑Cibolo‑Universal City Independent School District board approved two principal hires—Steven Piles at Maxine L. Watts Elementary and Justin Monk at Barbara C. Jordan Intermediate—by 7‑0 votes following closed‑session recommendations.
The Schertz‑Cibolo‑Universal City Independent School District Board of Trustees on April 3 approved two campus principal appointments recommended in closed session, voting unanimously 7‑0 on each hire.
Board President Michael Finley opened the appointments after a closed session under the Texas Open Meetings Act. Human-resources staff presented the two candidates and described the district's hiring process as intentionally thorough. "These are two very important hires ... getting the right people to serve our students is so, so very important," personnel staff member Miss Ward said during the open session.
Votes at a glance: • Employment of Steven Piles as principal, Maxine L. Watts Elementary School — motion moved and seconded; outcome: approved, vote 7‑0. • Employment of Justin Monk as principal, Barbara C. Jordan Intermediate — motion moved and seconded; outcome: approved, vote 7‑0.
After the first vote, the newly approved principal at Watts introduced family members who attended the meeting. Justin Monk, approved for Barbara C. Jordan Intermediate, also thanked the board and said he was "very excited to get working for this wonderful district." Both hires were presented to the board as candidates recommended in closed session under Texas Government Code Chapter 551.074 (personnel matters).
The board did not discuss employment contract lengths, compensation details, or start dates in open session; none of those items were specified in the public record during the meeting.
The board recessed after the personnel actions and later resumed the evening with a budget workshop led by Superintendent Maloney and CFO Brian Moy.
No amendments or additional conditions on the appointments were recorded on the meeting record.
