ROYSE CITY ISD board holds closed session on personnel, legal consultation and a Level IV grievance hearing
Summary
The ROYSE CITY ISD Board recessed to closed session on May 11 to deliberate personnel matters, consult with the district attorney about litigation and a potential settlement, and conduct a Level IV grievance hearing; the board reconvened and recorded a 5-0 vote to deny the appeal.
The ROYSE CITY ISD Board of Trustees recessed its special meeting at 4:59 p.m. on May 11 and entered a closed session under Texas Government Code provisions to address personnel deliberations (Tex. Gov't Code §551.074), attorney consultation about pending or contemplated litigation and settlement offers (Tex. Gov't Code §551.071), and to hear an employee complaint that required a Level IV hearing (Tex. Gov't Code §551.082). The record in open session notes the board reconvened at 6:33 p.m.
Because the matters were discussed in closed session under statutory exemptions, the board did not disclose the specifics of the personnel deliberations or the contents of attorney consultations in open minutes. The meeting minutes record that after reconvening the board voted 5-0 to deny the Level IV appeal and to affirm the Level III decision; two trustees were absent. No members of the public requested to speak during open forum before the closed session.
