Board returns from closed session and approves appointments and personnel recommendations
Summary
After a closed executive session under Section 551.074, trustees approved the appointment of Indira Cantu as counselor for LBJ Elementary, recommended employment of discussed professional applicants, and upheld the superintendent’s termination recommendations in several at‑will personnel matters and a level‑2 grievance decision.
The board entered closed session to consider personnel matters and grievances and returned with multiple personnel actions.
Following legal counsel’s advice, the board approved the appointment of Indira Cantu as counselor for LBJ Elementary and recommended employment for the professional applicants discussed in closed session. On a grievance hearing (level‑3) concerning Gloria Entrujillo, counsel advised upholding the level‑2 decision and the board voted to do so. The board also accepted the superintendent’s recommendations to terminate several at‑will employees; counsel advised the board on each personnel item before individual votes were taken.
Why it matters: Personnel actions affect campus staffing and student services. Trustees conducted these items under the statutory closed‑session exception for personnel and recorded that no action was taken during the executive session itself; votes were taken in open session after the board returned.
What’s next: The board’s personnel actions will be implemented by the superintendent and HR as appropriate; trustees recorded the approvals in the meeting minutes.
