SANTA GERTRUDIS ISD board tables superintendent contract after closed session
Summary
After a closed session under Texas Gov. Code §551.074, the SANTA GERTRUDIS ISD Board returned to open session and tabled a motion to approve the superintendent's contract; the transcript records a motion and a recorded vote but also lists the item as "tabled."
At its Dec. 15, 2025 regular meeting, the SANTA GERTRUDIS ISD Board returned from a closed session and tabled a motion to approve the superintendent's contract.
The board entered closed session at 6:52 p.m. under "Pursuant to Tex. Govt. Code 551.074" to consult with counsel and to consider the superintendent's evaluations, job duties and contract. After returning at 8:55 p.m., LeeRoy Montalvo moved "Motion to approve the Superintendent's contract as discussed in closed session," with Jesse Garcia seconding the motion. The transcript records the motion as "Tabled." The meeting minutes also list the recorded votes as: Carmen Falcon: Absent; Jennifer Cash: Yea; Oscar Cortez: Yea; Jesse Garcia: Yea; April Grigg: Yea; LeeRoy Montalvo: Yea; Francis Regalado: Yea (Yea 6, Nay 0, Absent 1).
The transcript contains an internal inconsistency: it records the motion outcome as "Tabled" while simultaneously listing a unanimous recorded vote in favor (Yea 6). The board did not include additional clarifying language on the record about why the motion was tabled or how the vote record should be interpreted. The closed-session items cited were limited to superintendent personnel matters; no substance of the closed discussion appears in the public record beyond the statutory citation.
Next steps: agenda item 7.B (consideration of the superintendent's evaluation) was listed but the transcript does not show a discrete public vote or further action. The meeting adjourned at 8:56 p.m. The board's official minutes should be consulted for clarification of the recorded vote versus the "tabled" outcome.
