The Prosper ISD Board of Trustees recessed into a closed executive session on March 30, 2026, after Chair Bill Beavers said the board was "starting off on this journey of looking for a new superintendent." The meeting opened at 6:00 p.m. and was called to order by Beavers, who announced a quorum of trustees in attendance.
Beavers led an opening prayer and explicitly mentioned the start of work related to finding a new superintendent for the district. He also reviewed the meeting's compliance with the Texas Open Meetings Act and said the agenda had been posted for public viewing at least three business days before the meeting. "All of our voting must be conducted in public," he said, while noting that the law allows certain topics to be discussed privately.
Beavers told attendees that no one had signed up for public comment, and the board recessed into closed session citing the Texas Government Code, Chapter 551 (Open Meetings Act), including statutory exceptions under §§551.071, .072, .074 and .076 for attorney consultation, personnel matters, real estate, school safety and other permitted items. The board returned from executive session at 7:30 p.m. and adjourned the meeting the same minute.
The open record for the March 30 meeting contains no public vote or public action recorded on the superintendent search; any substantive deliberations or decisions about the search occurred in closed session, as permitted by state law.
