Mesquite ISD board approves contract for special education coordinator; new hire introduced
Summary
The Mesquite ISD Board approved an administrative contract for a special education coordinator by voice vote and later welcomed Dr. Shareep Price, who brings roughly 25 years of experience in special education leadership.
The Mesquite Independent School District Board of Trustees approved an administrative contract this morning to hire a new special education coordinator and later welcomed the incoming employee to the district.
During a brief assembly at the start of the meeting, Speaker 1 read the action to approve the administrative contract for the special education coordinator and announced "there's a motion by mister Seward, second by miss Collier to approve the administrative contract for the special ed coordinator." Speaker 2 responded "Aye," and Speaker 1 declared, "Ayes have it," announcing the motion carried by voice vote.
Board members then introduced the new hire. Speaker 4 (presenter) said Dr. Shareep Price was running late but joins Mesquite ISD as special education coordinator and brings about 25 years of experience in public education. Speaker 4 summarized Price's recent work "leading special populations work at KIPP Texas, coaching special education managers and facilitating statewide professional learning communities focused on inclusion," and listed prior roles in Dallas ISD, DeSoto ISD and Fort Worth ISD. The presenter said she earned a bachelor of science in computer information systems from Grambling State University, a master of education in educational administration and a doctor of education in educational leadership from the University of North Texas.
Speaker 3 addressed Dr. Price directly and the board offered a brief welcome when she arrived later in the meeting. Speaker 2 asked whether the board should reconsider the earlier vote because Price arrived late; Speaker 1 declined and proceeded to adjourn the meeting. The board took no further formal personnel action beyond the approved contract and welcome.
Next steps: the district will complete onboarding consistent with the approved administrative contract. No salary or contract terms were read into the record during the meeting, and no roll-call vote or named vote tally was recorded on the transcript.
