Plano ISD board authorizes notice of proposed termination for employee Paul Campbell

The Plano ISD Board of Trustees voted unanimously on July 9, 2026, to authorize district administration to issue a notice of proposed termination to term contract employee Paul Campbell for good cause under Chapter 21 of the Texas Education Code and applicable board policies.

Dr. Joanna Kendall, chief of employee services, presented the administrations request and said "the administration seeks authorization and approval to send notice of proposed termination for the term contract of Mr. Paul Campbell for good cause under chapter 21 and board policies." After a motion to authorize the notice was made by Trustee Elisa Klein and seconded, the board voted; the presiding officer announced, "That motion passes 6 to 0. Motion passes unanimously." The motion record shows the board approved issuing the notice; the transcript does not specify a timetable for issuance or further procedural steps beyond the authorization.
