Manor ISD board approves Carlisa Dixon as athletic director

The Manor Independent School District board voted 7-0 to approve the hire of Carlisa Dixon as athletic director at its Jan. 12 meeting (the transcript did not specify the year). Trustee Rodriguez Barnett moved "That the board approve the hire of Carlisa Dixon as our athletic director," and the motion was seconded; the board recorded the motion as passing 7-0.

The motion was introduced during action item 7.1. Trustee Rodriguez Barnett made the motion, and the transcript indicates Doctor Thomas, Dr. Larry, and Mr. Martinez signaled seconds. The board chair announced the motion passed "7 0." The transcript records that a quorum had been declared earlier in the meeting.

In remarks introducing Dixon, an unnamed board member noted that she had served as interim director and assistant athletic director in Humble ISD, which the speaker described as a 48,000-student district with five high schools. After the vote, Carlisa Dixon thanked trustees and said she looked forward "to serving our student athletes, coaches, and the community, and I am excited to establish a long term home for my family here in Manor." She introduced family members who attended the meeting.

The board had convened briefly in executive session earlier, announcing it would adjourn into executive session at 5:01 p.m. pursuant to provisions of the Texas Open Meetings Act (Texas Government Code, chapter 551, as cited in the transcript) and reconvened in open session at 5:36 p.m. The board confirmed its next regular meeting is scheduled for Jan. 26 (year not specified in the transcript) and then adjourned.

The transcript does not specify details of Dixon's contract, salary, or start date.
