Trinity ISD board meets in closed session to review superintendent applicants
Summary
The Trinity ISD Board of Trustees met in a special session March 31 to review candidates for the superintendent post and consulted legal counsel under Texas Government Code exemptions; the minutes record no public comments and do not report a personnel action.
The Trinity Independent School District Board of Trustees convened a special meeting March 31, 2026, and entered closed session to "review, consider and discuss applicants for the superintendent position, pursuant to the Texas Government Code 551.074." The agenda also notes consultation with legal counsel under Texas Government Code sections 551.071 and 551.129.
According to the minutes, President Kevin Searcy called the board into closed session to discuss superintendent candidates and legal matters. No members of the public addressed the board during the open forum; the minutes state, "No one wished to speak in the open forum." The board later returned to open session for "deliberation and possible action, if any, taken in closed session regarding Superintendent search process," but the minutes do not record any formal personnel decision or vote about the superintendent search.
The minutes list board members present and identify officers as President Kevin Searcy, Vice President Monty Huffman and Secretary Dorothy Franklin. The agenda items explicitly cite Texas Government Code Sections 551.074, 551.071 and 551.129 as the legal bases for the closed-session personnel and counsel consultations. The record does not specify next steps for the search, any candidate names, or a timeline for public disclosure of a hire.
