Princeton ISD board elects Carlos Cuellar president in 4-3 reorganization vote
Summary
After an executive session on personnel, the Princeton ISD Board of Trustees returned to open session and elected Carlos Cuellar president 4-3, installed Starla Sharpe as vice president (4-3) and Bianca Washington as secretary (5-2). A prior nomination of incumbent Cyndi Darland failed 3-4.
After returning from executive session, the Princeton ISD Board of Trustees reorganized its leadership in a series of close votes. Duane Kelly moved to nominate incumbent Cyndi Darland for board president; John Campbell seconded, and that nomination failed 3-4.
Board member Starla Sharpe then moved to nominate Carlos Cuellar for president; the motion passed 4-3, making Cuellar the board's new president. The board elected Starla Sharpe as vice president in a 4-3 vote and Bianca Washington as secretary in a 5-2 vote. The board had entered executive session earlier under Texas Government Code — 551.074 to discuss personnel matters and reconvened at 8:47 p.m. to take the nominations and votes.
Motions and seconders were recorded in the minutes: Duane Kelly made the first nomination for president (seconded by John Campbell), and Starla Sharpe moved the successful nomination of Carlos Cuellar (seconded by Bianca Washington). The votes were recorded individually in the minutes and reflect a divided board on leadership choices.
