San Isidro ISD agenda cites Texas Open Meetings Act and lists closed‑session exceptions
Summary
The special meeting agenda cites the Texas Open Meetings Act (Government Code, Chapter 551) and lists statutory exceptions under which the board may go into closed session, including personnel matters related to the superintendent and consultations with the board's attorney.
The agenda for the San Isidro ISD special meeting on Sept. 2, 2024, includes a detailed notice that the Board may convene in closed session "in accordance with the Texas Open Meetings Act, Government Code, Chapter 551, Subchapters D and E." The agenda text lists the specific exceptions allowing closed-session deliberations, including: consultations with the attorney (Section 551.071), deliberations about real property (Section 551.072), personnel matters including the superintendent (Section 551.074), security-device deliberations (Section 551.076), and economic-development negotiations (Section 551.087).
The agenda identifies III.A as "Discussion on personnel matters, including but not limited to Superintendent position (Texas Government Code 551.074)," and III.B as "Discuss applications for superintendent position." The document cites that all votes, actions or decisions will be taken in open session and that the presiding officer will publicly identify the statutory subsection that authorizes any closed meeting before it is convened. The transcript records these agenda and statutory lines but does not include any closed-session text or the board's public identification of which statutory exception it would invoke at any particular point.
