Spearman I.S.D. board accepts Superintendent James Layman’s resignation
Summary
The Spearman I.S.D. Board accepted Superintendent James Layman’s resignation effective May 29, 2026, and authorized the board president to execute any necessary separation agreements discussed in executive session; the vote was 6–0.
The Spearman I.S.D. Board of Trustees on March 31 accepted the resignation of Superintendent James Layman, effective May 29, 2026. The board voted 6–0 to accept the resignation and authorized the board president to execute any separation agreements discussed in executive session.
Scott Sonnenberg moved “to accept the resignation of Superintendent, James Layman, effective May 29, 2026, and authorize the Board President to execute any necessary separation agreements as discussed in executive session.” Anne Marie Pearson seconded the motion, which carried unanimous support from the six board members present. The board met in closed session earlier in the evening under the Texas Open Meetings Act to consult with counsel and discuss personnel matters before taking the public vote.
The action leaves the district with an announced vacancy that the board later authorized staff and retained consultants to fill. The board did not include details of any separation agreement terms in the public record during the meeting beyond authorizing the president to execute agreements discussed in executive session.
