Board approves amendment to superintendent’s contract after closed-session discussion
Summary
The Santa Fe ISD Board authorized amendments to the superintendent’s contract following executive-session deliberations; the motion carried 6–0 with one member absent.
The Santa Fe Independent School District Board of Trustees voted June 15 to approve amendments to the superintendent’s contract after discussing the matter in closed session.
"I move that the Board approve the amendments to the Superintendent's contract with the terms as discussed in Executive Session," said Eric Davenport, who made the motion. Clay Hertenberger seconded the motion; the vote recorded six yeas, zero nays and one absence. The minutes do not specify the contract terms discussed in the closed session.
The change followed an executive session that the minutes list under Texas Government Code 551.074 (personnel) and a separate agenda item noting the Superintendent's evaluation and contract. Because the discussion occurred in closed session, the minutes record only that the board approved amendments and the roll-call vote. The board’s action was recorded as: mover Eric Davenport, second Clay Hertenberger; Yea: John Couch, Eric Davenport, James Grassmuck, Clay Hertenberger, Patrick Kelly, Rusty Norman; Absent: Angie Lambert.
The minutes also show that no action was taken during the first closed session earlier in the meeting. The board certified the minutes and set July 20, 2026 as the approval date for the written minutes.
