Waxahachie ISD board approves personnel, superintendent contract, certifications and consent items
Loading...
Summary
At its April meeting the Waxahachie ISD board unanimously upheld an employee grievance denial, hired a junior-high principal, approved the superintendent’s appraisal and contract, certified insufficient funds for SB 546 bus retrofits, adopted new secondary math materials, and approved consent items A–U.
The Waxahachie ISD Board of Trustees on April 20 unanimously approved several personnel actions, a superintendent contract, a certification related to state bus-safety rules and a consent package covering district business.
The board voted 6–0 to uphold a level‑2 administrative decision on a Level‑3 employee grievance, to hire Chris Lynch as principal of Coleman Junior High, and to approve the superintendent’s appraisal and contract as discussed in closed session. The board later approved consent agenda items A through U and adjourned.
Board President Miss McCutcheon opened the meeting and called the votes. “All in favor, say aye,” she said before each roll call; the record shows each motion carried 6–0. Motion texts were entered into the record for each action: the grievance motion was to uphold the administrative decision and deny requested relief; the principal hire and superintendent contract were approved as presented; and the consent agenda passed without recorded dissents.
The meeting record ties each action to a formal motion, a second and a recorded tally. Where movers and seconders were spoken on the floor they were recorded by name in the transcript (for example, the principal hire was moved by Clay Scofield and seconded by Ryan Pitts). The board did not take additional public comment on the personnel matters during the votes.
Next steps for these items are administrative: the newly hired principal will assume campus duties per district procedures, and the superintendent’s approved contract will be administered by district staff.
The board left open other agenda items for future reporting, including construction and program updates received later in the meeting.
