Perryton ISD trustees unanimously approved a package of personnel items and moved into closed session at the end of their meeting.

The board approved continuation of an early-resignation incentive program for the 2025–26 school year. A board member said, "If they submit it by January 17, we give them an extra $500." The member described the program as used in prior years to help the district identify openings and plan hiring. The board voted to adopt the incentive program; the motion carried, 7-0. The transcript includes additional deadline lines that are garbled and not specified; the board did not provide clear dollar amounts or dates for those later deadlines during the recorded discussion.

On personnel, the board considered hiring a student teacher who has been working in the district since the start of the school year. The presenter recommended offering the candidate a one-year noncertified teacher contract and granted the superintendent authority to convert that agreement to a certified (Chapter 21) contract after the candidate completes certification. The presenter also noted the position would be a probationary contract. The board moved, seconded and approved the hiring and the superintendent conversion authority; the motion carried, 7-0.

The meeting concluded with the board announcing it would convene a closed meeting to discuss the superintendent's evaluation and personnel matters under Texas Government Code 551.074. A final timing detail was discussed as the board prepared to enter the closed session.

The actions taken at the meeting were procedural and personnel-focused: approval of minutes (as amended), authorization of the resignation-incentive program, and a personnel hire with conversion authority tied to future certification. No votes listed in the transcript recorded dissent; all documented motions carried unanimously. The board scheduled a closed meeting for further discussion of evaluation and personnel matters.
