The Del Valle ISD Board of Trustees appointed Charles Burton to fill the Single-Member District 3 vacancy and approved Bridal Scott Ryan for Single-Member District 5 after meeting in closed session, board President Wagner said.
The appointments followed an executive session the board held under Texas Government Code sections 551.071 and 551.074 to interview and discuss potential candidates to fill the vacancies. The board called the closed session at 6:18 p.m.; trustees ended the session at 10:08 p.m. and reconvened in open session at about 10:11 p.m.
Board discussion and votes: For the SMD 3 appointment, the board moved to appoint Charles Burton. A board member noted that the district had received several qualified applicants but that only one candidate could be interviewed because another applicant was ill and could not attend. The board recorded six votes in favor, zero opposed and one abstention; the motion carried. The transcript does not specify which trustee moved or seconded the SMD 3 motion, nor does it list individual voter names for that tally.
For the SMD 5 appointment, Trustee Elvio Guarion moved the motion to approve Bridal Scott Ryan and Trustee Pantoja seconded. The board chair called for the vote and the motion passed; the transcript does not record a roll-call tally for that vote.

The appointments fill current vacancies on the seven-member Del Valle ISD Board of Trustees representing single-member districts 3 and 5. The transcript included no detail about when the appointees will be sworn in or assume their seats.
