Summary
The KIPP Texas Executive Committee on May 19 unanimously approved the April 8 meeting minutes, reviewed the June 2 board meeting agenda — including planned votes on FY26 revised and FY27 operating and capital budgets and a required School Health Advisory Council report — and adjourned to executive session to discuss legal, personnel and property matters.
KIPP Texas Executive Committee members met May 19, 2026, and unanimously approved the minutes of the April 8 Executive Committee meeting before reviewing and finalizing the agenda for the June 2 full board meeting.
Board Chair Darla Whitaker confirmed the meeting was recorded and called roll. Allison Thacker opened the meeting and handed the floor to Whitaker to preside. During roll call Whitaker read the names of committee members present and the staff participants: Seba Ali, Chief Executive Officer; Jenna Moon, Chief of Staff; Ann Scott, Chief Talent Officer; and Ellen Spalding, legal counsel.
"We will um jump in with our required um roll call and public comment," Jenna Moon said while previewing the June 2 agenda. Moon told the committee the meeting will be in Dallas at the SSP office and will include a mission moment presented by Dan to celebrate the class of 2026. Moon also said the board will review preliminary CEO updates and hear a financial report from Sun Han, the chief financial officer. "We will have an approval for the fiscal year 26 revised operating and capital budgets, as well as approval for the fiscal year 27 operating and capital budgets," Moon said.
Moon said the School Health Advisory Council is required to submit an annual report on attendance and committee processes; that report will be included in the pre-read materials distributed May 27 and will be reviewed at the June meeting.
The committee considered a motion to approve the April 8, 2026 Executive Committee meeting minutes. Gene Austin moved to approve the minutes and Allison Thacker seconded; the committee voted in favor and the motion "passes unanimously," Whitaker stated.
At 5:05 p.m. the committee adjourned to executive session under Texas Government Code sections 551.071 (consultation with board attorney), 551.074 (personnel matters) and 551.072 (real property deliberations) to discuss attorney consultation, employment and personnel matters, and deliberations about real property. The meeting returned to open session at 5:45 p.m., and Chair Whitaker adjourned the meeting.
No public vote on the contingent-fee legal services agreement related to social media litigation or on appointments was recorded in open session; those matters were listed for discussion in closed session and will be considered as appropriate under board procedure at a later time or upon return to open session.
