Summary
The Bastrop ISD board voted to name Dr. Christy Lee the lone finalist for superintendent and authorized the president to negotiate a contract; the decision followed a closed‑session personnel discussion and carries a 21‑day waiting period.
The Bastrop Independent School District board voted to name Dr. Christy Lee the lone finalist for the district's superintendent position and authorized the board president to negotiate a contract, officials said after the board reconvened from a closed session.
Trustee (speaker 11) moved that Dr. Lee be named the lone finalist, citing her stability, knowledge of the district and readiness to lead. "She is trusted, respected, and deeply knowledgeable about our district's needs," the trustee said during the open session. Another trustee seconded the motion; the board then approved it by voice/hand vote.
Dr. Lee, who has served as interim superintendent since Aug. 1, thanked the trustees: "I sincerely appreciate the trust that you've placed in me with this decision. I value each one of you... We have a lot of work to do and we're going to do it well."
Under Texas law the board must post the finalist's name and allow a 21‑day period before final action; the board also authorized the president to proceed with contract negotiations as discussed in closed session. No further terms were disclosed at the meeting.
The naming follows a closed‑session discussion that the board said concerned personnel matters and attorney consultation. The board took the action in open session shortly before adjourning.
