Summary

Trustees entered a closed session under Texas Gov't Code §551.074 to consider hiring a superintendent and its contract; after returning to open session the board acknowledged contracts for new hires and tabled a security audit until next month.

The Trinity ISD Board entered a closed executive session at 7:06 p.m. on May 18 under Texas Government Code §551.074 to consider hiring a superintendent and to discuss the superintendent contract.

The minutes state: "Executive Session – pursuant to the following section of the Texas Government Code with reference to the Texas Open Meeting Act 551.001, Texas Government Code Section 551.074." After closed deliberations the board returned to open session. In open session trustees, on a motion by Ricky Hortman and second by Monty Huffman, acknowledged contracts for new hires; the motion carried unanimously. The board also voted on a motion by Hortman, second by Chad Seamans, to table the security audit until next month; that motion carried unanimously.

The minutes do not disclose details of the executive-session discussion or the identities of any finalists for superintendent (personnel matters were discussed in closed session as allowed by statute). The board recorded follow-up administrative tasks (signing attestation pages for the audit survey) and deferred the security audit for additional consideration at a future meeting.
