Summary
The board approved the consent agenda and several action items including an English-language development platform, a solid‑waste contract extension and motions authorizing termination notices for chapter 21 term-contract employees; votes were recorded by voice and motions carried.
At the meeting's action stage the La Joya ISD board approved multiple consent and action items by voice vote.
Board members approved: an English-language development platform for emergent bilingual students (item 13.1); an extension of the district's solid-waste services contract (item 13.2); the board's Lone Star governance self-assessment instrument (item 13.3); authorization for the superintendent to send notices proposing termination of certain chapter 21 term contract employees (item 13.4); and a separate termination of a chapter 21 term contract employee (item 13.5).
Motions were moved and seconded on the record (for example, Anita Chat moved to approve the consent agenda and the board president seconded). Each action passed by voice vote with members answering "Aye," and the president announced "Motion carries." The transcript does not provide a roll-call tally for individual board members; district staff recorded the votes as voice approval on the public record.
The board also recessed into a closed session under provisions of the Texas Open Meetings Act and returned to open session before finalizing the action items. No further detail on the personnel matters was made public during the meeting; personnel actions were handled in accordance with applicable district policy.
