Summary
After an executive session, the Galena Park ISD Board of Trustees approved the superintendent's evaluation and voted to approve the superintendent's employment contract, each by a 7-0 roll-call announcement. No public comment was recorded on the agenda items.
The Galena Park Independent School District Board of Trustees, meeting March 2, 2026, approved the superintendent's evaluation and employment contract after returning from an executive session.
Trustee Noe Esparza moved to approve the superintendent's evaluation "as presented," and Trustee Jose Jimenez seconded. President Ramon Garza announced, "The motion carries 7 to 0 with no abstentions." Shortly afterward, Trustee Amanda Arabia moved to approve the superintendent's employment contract and Trustee Norma Hernandez seconded; Garza again recorded the vote as 7-0.
The votes followed a closed executive session held under the Texas Open Meetings Act, which the board said was authorized by sections 551.001 through 551.084 of the Texas Government Code. Board leadership told attendees that any final action arising from the closed session would be taken at the public meeting if required.
Board members who appear on the meeting record voting in favor were Ramon Garza, Noe Esparza, Jose Jimenez, Amanda Arabia, Norma Hernandez, Linda Sherrard and Adrian Stevens. The meeting record shows no public comments on the superintendent items.
The board did not provide additional public details about changes to the contract or evaluation metrics during the open session. The agenda and staff materials provided to trustees were noted as the basis for the motions; the record does not include an effective date or salary details for the employment contract.
The board continued with recognitions and regular business after the votes. No further action on the superintendent's employment contract was announced at the meeting; any procedural follow-up such as signing or filing will follow district practice and the regular canvas or qualification process for officeholders if applicable.
