Lubbock ISD board hires HR executive, extends superintendent's contract and approves financial reports
Summary
The Lubbock ISD Board of Trustees on a January morning approved the hiring of Crystal Floyd as executive director of human resources, extended the superintendent's contract through June 30, 2028, and adopted routine financial and purchase items including district consulting for bond planning.
The Lubbock ISD Board of Trustees approved several personnel and financial actions after reconvening from a closed session.
A trustee moved to hire Crystal Floyd as executive director of human resources; the motion was seconded and the board voted to approve the hire (the public record states "Motion carries"). After the vote, Crystal Floyd thanked trustees and staff for the opportunity and pledged to "support our staff who can help in turn support all of our students in the district." (Crystal Floyd).
Later in the meeting, following a second closed session, the board voted to extend the superintendent's contract by one year to June 30, 2028 and authorized the board president to negotiate and execute the extension; the motion was moved, seconded and recorded as carried in the transcript. The motion language recorded in the public proceeding authorized the board president to negotiate and execute the amended contract.
On routine business, Dr. Wilkins presented the monthly financial report and reported the district is "moving along slightly under budget," that tax collections are picking up, food service is performing well, capital projects related to the 2018 bond are slowing, and investments have trended down from about 6.5% to roughly 5.6% in yield. The board moved to approve the November 2024 financial reports; the transcript records the motion as carried with a tally recorded as "7 to 0." (Dr. Wilkins).
The board also approved district purchases that included a Park Hill consulting services contract intended to support potential bond planning; staff described the contract as a not-to-exceed amount that would be moved to bond funds if a bond passes. Trustees praised Park Hill's long partnership and the data it provided to the Future Focus Committee. The purchases motion was approved (transcript: "Motion carries 7 to 0").
The meeting record indicates actions were taken by motion and voice vote; the public minutes should be consulted for the full, signed vote record and any contract details or effective dates.
What happens next: the board president was authorized to execute the superintendent contract extension and staff said the Park Hill contract will be moved to bond funds should a bond be approved by voters.
