Mesquite ISD board approves outside personal services for Sarone Lacy after legal review
Summary
The board approved outside personal services for Sarone Lacy after the item was revised and cleared by general counsel; Doctor Rivera cited House Bill 3372 as the legal context that restricts administrators from receiving additional compensation without compliance.
The Mesquite Independent School District board approved administration’s request to allow outside personal services for Sarone Lacy after the district presented modifications and legal advice that staff said addressed prior concerns under state law.
"In accordance with House Bill 3372 passed for the 80th legislature, administrators cannot make additional dollars either from the district or another organization associated with the district, and this particular contract falls under or this particular item falls into that category," Doctor Rivera told the board while explaining that the item had been tabled at a prior meeting and revised before returning for approval. Rivera said the revisions and advice of general counsel cleared the item for approval.
Trustee Everett moved to approve the request based on counsel's recommendation; Trustee Bingham seconded the motion. The board voted in favor and the motion carried.
The transcript records the approval and notes it was made "based on the advice of our general counsel." The board did not provide further contractual details, such as term length or compensation, in the recorded discussion; those details were not specified in the public transcript.
