Roma ISD board reports closed-session discussion of teacher termination, takes no public action
Summary
The Roma ISD Board of Trustees discussed a proposed termination of a classroom teacher in closed session under Texas law but returned to open session without pursuing formal termination; the board later accepted a separate resignation.
The Roma ISD Board of Trustees met in a special called meeting Feb. 5 and convened a closed session to discuss a proposed termination of a classroom teacher's employment contract under Tex. Gov't Code §551.074. President Ricardo A. Perez said the meeting had been duly posted and a quorum was present.
The board went into closed session at 6:04 p.m. to consider the personnel matter and returned to open session at 6:27 p.m. President Perez announced that no action was taken in closed session. The meeting record shows the board did not vote to pursue termination when it returned to open session.
Under the Texas Open Meetings Act, many personnel matters are discussed in closed session; the board confirmed compliance with statutory posting requirements at the start of the meeting. The transcript notes the closed-session subject as "Proposed Termination of Classroom Teacher's Employment Contract," and lists the relevant statutory citation to Tex. Gov't Code §551.074.
The board proceeded to other business after resuming open session and adjourned at 6:31 p.m.
