White Oak ISD board names lone finalist for superintendent
Summary
On Aug. 16 the White Oak ISD Board of Trustees voted 6-0-1 to name Jackson Parker as the lone finalist for superintendent and said the board will revisit hiring after the statutory 21-day period.
Trustee David Carr moved Aug. 16 that the White Oak Independent School District Board of Trustees "name Jackson Parker as Lone Finalist for the position of Superintendent of Schools," and that the board reconsider the hire after a 21-day waiting period; Trustee Donna Stagner seconded the motion and the board approved it 6-0-1.
The agenda and attendance list for the special-called meeting also show Jack Parker listed as Interim Superintendent among those present. The official motion in the minutes names "Jackson Parker" as the lone finalist; the board record therefore contains both spellings. The board did not state on the record whether the names refer to the same individual. The motion directs that, after the expiration of 21 days, the matter be brought back to the board under a properly posted agenda for action regarding a superintendent hire.
The naming of a lone finalist is a formal personnel step under Texas law that begins the 21-day public notice period before final action. The board took the vote on the motion without additional public discussion recorded in the meeting minutes. No other procedural steps or contract terms were included in the meeting record.
