Summary
After a closed evaluation, the Round Rock ISD Board of Trustees approved extending the superintendent’s contract through June 30, 2028, and authorized a $21,333 bonus under the terms of the contract; both motions were announced as carrying 7-0 in the transcript.
The Round Rock ISD Board of Trustees voted on the extension of the superintendent’s employment and approved a bonus for the superintendent following a closed-session evaluation.
An unnamed trustee moved "Madam President, I move that the Board of Trustees extend the superintendent's contract through 06/30/2028," and the board recorded the outcome as "Motion carries seven-zero," according to the meeting transcript. The board later approved a bonus payment of $21,333 to the superintendent "as provided under the terms of the superintendent's contract," a motion that was likewise announced as carrying 7-0.
President Harrison, speaking after the board returned to open session, described the extension as "a vote of confidence in your leadership," and said the board had worked collaboratively through the evaluation. "Our decision to extend your contract is a vote of confidence in your leadership," President Harrison said.
Dr. Aziz, identified in the transcript by that name and described in the record as the superintendent, thanked trustees for their feedback and the vote. "I want to thank you all for your vote of confidence and your feedback," Dr. Aziz said. "I know, I'm a human being also. I'm ... I need to take feedback like anybody else and try to do better. I'm proud of the work we accomplished in the past 3 and a half years despite all the challenges that our district was faced with."
Board business moved into closed session under the authority of Texas Government Code Sections 551.071 and 551.074 to "discuss, deliberate and conduct the summative evaluation of the superintendent and discuss the superintendent's employment contract," per the transcript. The board announced entering closed session early in the agenda and conducted an extended closed session before returning to open session to record motions.
The transcript records the motions and the chair's announcements of the outcomes (both motions described as carrying 7-0). The transcript does not provide a roll-call record of individual votes in the open text, and specific seconders for the first motion are not clearly identified in the record; the bonus motion is shown as being seconded. The meeting ended after final remarks and was adjourned at 10:02 p.m.
No public comment was recorded for the meeting, and no additional details about the contract terms beyond the new end date and the amount of the bonus were specified in the transcript.
