Board authorizes complaint to State Board for Educator Certification after finding no good cause for contract abandonment
Summary
After a closed session discussion, trustees voted to find that an employee from Keefer Crossing Middle School had no good cause to abandon a contract and authorized the superintendent to submit a written complaint to the State Board for Educator Certification.
Following a closed session on personnel matters, the New Caney ISD Board of Trustees voted on Feb. 17 to find that good cause did not exist for an employee who was discussed in executive session to have abandoned their contract. The board further authorized the superintendent or his designee to submit a written complaint for sanction to the State Board for Educator Certification for contract abandonment by a teacher from Keefer Crossing Middle School.
The item was presented to the board by Ms. Christie Gates and came after the board convened in closed session under the Texas Open Meetings Act for personnel and attorney consultation. Trustee Alters moved the recommendation and Trustee Trout seconded; the board approved the motion by voice vote as recorded in the public meeting minutes.
No employee name or additional personnel details were disclosed in the public portion of the meeting transcript. The board noted that any action resulting from closed session would occur after reconvening in open session and that the filed complaint would be the recognized next step under state educator certification procedures.
