TMISD board rescinds proposed nonrenewal of Cinda Alvarado's term contract
Summary
At a May 26 special meeting, the Tuloso-Midway ISD Board voted to rescind a prior proposal to nonrenew the term contract of employee Cinda Alvarado; the motion passed 4-0 after closed-session deliberations.
The Tuloso-Midway Independent School District Board of Trustees voted on May 26 to rescind a prior board action that had proposed the nonrenewal of the term contract of Cinda Alvarado.
"I move to accept the Superintendent's recommendation that the Board rescind prior action to propose nonrenewal of Cinda Alvarado's term contract," Board Member Rick Chapa said when making the motion. The motion was seconded by Board Member Kim Boone. The minutes record the vote as Leo Gonzalez: Yes; Rick Chapa: Yes; Kim Boone: Yes; Mari Jimenez: Yes; Paul Arriaga: Absent; Brian Boone: Absent. The motion was recorded as passing, 4:0.
The matter was considered after a closed-session personnel discussion. The minutes list the Administration's recommendation to rescind the prior action but do not state Alvarado's position or the reasons for the original proposed nonrenewal. The minutes also show a discrepancy in recorded attendance and voting across items (see audit): in the subsequent vote on contracts, Paul Arriaga is listed as voting Yes despite being recorded Absent for this motion.
Board members reconvened from closed session at 7:31 p.m. and took the rescission vote before moving to other business. The minutes do not specify any further conditions tied to the rescission or next steps regarding Alvarado's employment; the district did not provide additional detail in the minutes about Alvarado's role or the rationale for the initial nonrenewal recommendation.
