Wellington ISD trustees approve one‑year extensions for four administrators and coaches
Summary
At its Feb. 9 meeting the Wellington ISD Board approved one‑year contract extensions for four employees — two principals, an athletic director and another staff member — with two votes recorded as abstentions on separate motions.
The Wellington Independent School District Board of Trustees voted Feb. 9 to approve one‑year contract extensions for four district employees following closed‑session evaluations and superintendent recommendations.
"MOTION BY Mark Lemons, SECONDED BY Gene Pena to extend Deidre Kane’s contract a year as recommended by Kurt Ashmore, Superintendent," the minutes record; that motion carried 6–0 with Trustee Lance Kane abstaining. Trustees also approved one‑year extensions for Shannon Fisher (7–0), Jermaine Cantu (6–0, with Trustee Jonathan Killian abstaining) and Greg Proffitt (7–0) on motions reported in the meeting minutes.
The board’s actions were taken after an executive session held under Texas Government Code Section 551.074 to evaluate principals and the athletic director. Superintendent Kurt Ashmore had recommended the extensions, according to the record; the minutes do not list individual contract terms, salary amounts, or effective dates beyond a one‑year extension.
Trustees who voted in favor on each motion are recorded in the minutes; abstentions are noted where they occurred. The board provided no public comment on the contract extensions during the open meeting.
