Silverton ISD board extends Principal Michael Hayes’s contract after closed-session personnel discussion
Summary
After an executive session under the personnel exception, the Silverton ISD Board voted unanimously (among members present) to extend Principal Michael Hayes’s contract. The board met Feb. 5, 2026 and returned from closed session before the roll-call vote.
The Silverton Independent School District Board of Trustees voted Feb. 5, 2026 to extend Principal Michael Hayes’s contract after a closed-session discussion of personnel.
The board entered executive session at 7:23 PM under the statutory personnel exception and reconvened at 8:41 PM. After returning to open session, Trustee Dane Mullins moved, and Trustee Dusty Martin seconded, “To extend Michael Hayes’s contract as discussed.” The motion passed with recorded votes of Dane Mullins: Yea; Dusty Martin: Yea; Cooper Cogdell: Yea; Matt Francis: Yea. Trustees Molly Forman, Zack Burson and Josh Gordon were absent for the vote.
The transcript records the executive session reference as "Section 551.074 of the Texas Education Code," which the board invoked to discuss personnel; that citation is the meeting text for the personnel exception. (Officially, the personnel exception is Texas Government Code Section 551.074.) The minutes do not record the terms, effective date, or length of the contract extension.
Board President Dane Mullins and Trustee Dusty Martin handled the motion and second, and Principal Michael Hayes was identified in the minutes as the subject of the action. The board did not record additional public discussion or a separate staff presentation about the contract in the minutes.
