At 05:30 on January 7 the El Campo Independent School District Board of Trustees opened a special meeting, took no public comments, and adjourned into closed session under Texas Government Code §551.074 to discuss the superintendent’s contract and evaluation and to receive governance training regarding a "team of 8" framework.
A special meeting of the El Campo Independent School District Board of Trustees convened at 05:30 on January 7 and was immediately recessed into closed session to discuss the superintendent’s contract and evaluation and to conduct training on governance and administrative roles.
An unidentified speaker opened the meeting, stated that the meeting had been duly posted under Texas Government Code §551.043, led an opening prayer, and led the Pledge of Allegiance. The speaker said the board reserves time for public comment and asked whether anyone had signed in; the speaker then announced that no members of the public had signed in to comment.
At 05:31 the presiding speaker announced the board would adjourn into closed session under Texas Government Code §551.074 "discussion regarding superintendent's contract and evaluation." The speaker also identified a second closed-session item as "discussion and training regarding the team of 8 governance and administrative roles and expectations." No formal votes or motions were recorded in the publicly available portion of the meeting.
Texas law (Government Code §551.074) allows a school board to discuss personnel matters, including the appointment, employment, evaluation, reassignment, duties, discipline, or dismissal of a public officer or employee in closed session. Because the meeting moved into executive session, no additional details about the superintendent’s contract, any evaluation findings, or any board directions were disclosed on the record.
The meeting record shows the board complied with posting requirements (citing Texas Government Code §551.043) before convening. The board did not take public testimony at this special meeting. Any actions or decisions resulting from the closed session will be announced only if the board chooses to disclose them in a subsequent public meeting or release.
Meeting minutes or subsequent board statements will be the primary public sources for any formal actions or directions arising from the closed session.
