HISD board, in closed session, approves personnel actions and sales of several district properties

Houston — Following public comment and staff briefings on Dec. 11, the Houston Independent School District Board of Managers recessed to closed session under Chapter 551 of the Texas Government Code and later approved several personnel actions and resolutions authorizing surplus-property sales.

In open session after the closed meeting, a board member moved and the board approved the closed-session personnel agenda, which the motion described as including proposed terminations and nonrenewals of continuing-term, performance and probationary contracts, suspensions without pay, voiding of certain contracts and issuance of final orders, effective Dec. 11, 2025. The transcript records the motion passed; the meeting did not include a roll-call vote tally in the public record excerpt.

The board also adopted resolutions authorizing the board vice president to complete sales of multiple surplus properties. Motions announced as passed in sequence authorized sales of:

• East Area Office (R.E.S.B. 260899), 1102 Telephone, Houston, to Lobok GM Properties LLC (Mahboud Carmouche);

Each property sale motion was made, seconded and announced as passing on the record; the board did not provide vote tallies in the public transcript excerpt. Earlier in the meeting the board approved the evening’s agenda by consensus after pulling items 5 and 14 for later discussion.

The board adjourned the meeting at 8:08:27 p.m. and said the next regular meeting will be Jan. 15, 2026.
