Board unanimously approves Waterford Oaks principal; transcript shows inconsistent candidate name
Summary
The board approved the administration's recommended principal for Waterford Oaks Elementary in a unanimous vote; the transcript contains inconsistent spellings of the candidate's name (appears as 'Ida Mallard' and 'Adele Mallard').
The board voted unanimously to approve the administration's recommended hire for principal at Waterford Oaks Elementary.
A presenter (S12) introduced the candidate and described the person's experience: “He is coming in with 15 years of campus administration and he has a master's in, arts and science, from the University of Texas, Arlington,” (as stated in the transcript). The motion to approve was made by S1 (“I'll make the motion”) and seconded by another trustee (S10); S2 called the vote and recorded it as unanimous.
The transcript contains inconsistent references to the candidate's name — S12 first says “Ida Mallard,” then later the speaker or another line says “Recommend Adele Mallard” — and also renders the candidate reference in other ways. Because the transcript includes multiple spellings and pronoun usages, the board record should be checked for the official candidate name and correct pronouns before external publication. The board's action on the record was to accept the administration's recommendation and approve the appointment.
