Summary

After executive session deliberations, the board found no good cause for Michael Nadler to abandon his Chapter 21 teacher probationary contract and authorized the Superintendent to file a complaint with the State Board for Educator Certification.

Following a closed executive session that included discussion of personnel and a legal consultation on contract abandonment, the board reconvened in open session and voted to find that good cause did not exist for Michael Nadler to abandon his Chapter 21 teacher probationary contract. The board authorized the Superintendent to carry out necessary actions to file a written complaint with the State Board for Educator Certification.

The action was made by Melissa Woods and seconded by Cori Vahalik and passed by recorded vote. The minutes cite Texas Government Code provisions under which the board met (including §551.074 and consultative sections) but do not include the details of the executive session discussion in open minutes. The board also approved administrator contracts for 2026–2027 at the same reconvened session.
