Spring ISD board votes to terminate Educentric contract after conflict-of-interest disclosure
Summary
The Spring ISD Board of Trustees unanimously voted to terminate the district’s agreement with Educentric for convenience following disclosure of a conflict of interest involving a district employee; trustees authorized the superintendent to issue required notices.
The Spring Independent School District Board of Trustees voted unanimously March 18 to immediately terminate the district’s agreement with Educentric "for convenience" after administrators disclosed a conflict of interest relating to a district employee with ties to the company.
Trustee Kelly P. Hodges moved the termination; Trustee Winford Adams seconded. Anne West Brooks, the district’s chief financial officer, reminded trustees the matter had been discussed earlier in closed session and returned for final action at the public meeting.
During the public discussion, no representative from Educentric addressed the board. Trustee Carmen Correa asked whether the matter related to Senate Bill 1882 (a Texas charter-school/ISD statute); administration responded that SB 1882 did not apply in this case. The board then called the vote; the motion carried unanimously.
Ending: Trustees authorized the superintendent or her designee to provide all required notices of termination to Educentric. No additional public details about the specific conflict were provided during the open session.
