Round Rock ISD board extends superintendent's contract to 2029, approves $18,500 one-time bonus

The Round Rock ISD board unanimously approved an amendment to the superintendent's employment contract to extend the term to June 30, 2029, and to provide a one-time salary performance incentive of $18,500 contingent on meeting goals set by the board.

A board member introduced the motion after the board returned from closed session to conduct the superintendent's summative evaluation. The motion called for Section 1 of the contract to be extended to 06/30/2029 and for a one-time performance bonus of $18,500; the payment timeline in the spoken motion was recorded as "12/3126" in the transcript. Another board member seconded the motion. After discussion and brief remarks praising the superintendent, the presiding official called for a show-of-hands vote and declared the motion passed, "Motion passes 7 0."

The board did not provide individualized roll-call vote names in the transcript; the outcome was recorded as unanimous. Board discussion accompanying the vote emphasized appreciation for the superintendent's leadership and the collaborative nature of the evaluation process. One board member told the superintendent, "I appreciate everything that you do for Round Rock ISD," praising a student-first approach.

The action followed a closed-session summative evaluation under Texas Government Code sections 551.071 and 551.074. The contract amendment text as stated on the record included the extension date and the $18,500 bonus; the transcript phrase for the bonus payment date appears as "12/3126" and may reflect an intended payment deadline of Dec. 31, 2026. The transcript does not specify which board member made the motion by name on the public record.

Next steps: the board adjourned the meeting at 10:43. The transcript does not include details about administrative implementation or the mechanism for determining whether the superintendent met the board-established goals required to trigger the bonus.
