Summary

After closed session, trustees approved an amended resolution to declare a good-cause exception related to HB3 and voted to retain Lester Kranz as the district’s superintendent-search firm.

Following a closed-session discussion under Texas Government Code provisions for legal consultation and personnel, the Bastrop ISD board returned to open session and approved two formal actions.

A trustee moved and the board approved an amendment to a resolution declaring a good-cause exception related to HB3; the item followed closed-session consultation with legal counsel (the transcript records the motion and subsequent approval by voice vote). Later the board considered and approved a recommendation to hire Lester Kranz as the superintendent-search firm to lead the district’s search. The selection motion was moved and seconded and carried by voice vote.

Both actions were approved without a recorded roll-call tally in the public transcript. District leadership indicated no further immediate public steps beyond the standard search process and required notifications for the firm selection.
