WEST OSO ISD board unanimously extends superintendentcontract, approves 3% raise

The WEST OSO ISD board voted unanimously to extend the superintendent's contract by one year and approved a 3% salary increase following a closed-session evaluation.

Board members moved from closed session to open session to consider agenda item 6(a), described by the presiding officer as action on the "superintendent summative evaluation and employment contract." Liz Gutierrez moved to "extend the superintendent's contract to 1 year and give a 3% raise that equals to $5,022 for a total of a $172,422," and Shirley Jordan seconded the motion. The board then voted; the presiding officer announced the motion passed 7-0.

The board cited consultations under the Texas Government Code for personnel and attorney consultation in moving to closed session. No members of the public spoke during the meeting's public-participation period, and the agenda did not record any public comments on the contract action.

The board did not specify funding sources, contract start or effective dates, or any additional performance conditions in the open session discussion. The motion and vote as recorded address only the duration extension and the percentage raise and state-dollar amount. The meeting concluded with the presiding officer adjourning the session.

The board did not announce additional steps, reporting requirements, or a revised contract text during open session. The action indicates the board has taken final formal action on agenda item 6(a) at this meeting; no further timeline or implementation details were provided during the recorded segments.
