Queen City ISD board lists consideration of superintendent finalist in closed session

Chair Dusty Wiley called the Queen City ISD special meeting to order on Thursday, Dec. 19, 2024 at 5:30 p.m. at the Thornton Administration Building. The board's agenda listed an executive session under the Texas Government Code, Chapter 551, citing personnel matters (§551.074), and an action item described as “Consideration of Naming the Finalist for the Position of Superintendent.”

Board attendance recorded in the transcript shows Andy Campbell, Phillip Hamilton, Jonathan Stanmore, Jennifer Stringer and Dusty Wiley present; Laini Simmons and Michael Wise were noted as absent. Andy Campbell delivered the invocation. The public comment line appears on the agenda but the transcript contains no recorded speeches or public remarks.

The agenda entry for the executive session and the superintendent finalist consideration is recorded verbatim in the posted transcript, but the document contains no subsequent public motion, vote, or announcement of a finalist. According to the agenda text, the board intended to meet in closed session under Texas Government Code Chapter 551, which authorizes private discussion of personnel matters under §551.074. The transcript does not indicate whether the executive session occurred in this record or whether any action was taken publicly afterward.

The district did not provide a name or a public vote result in the transcript. Next steps typically include either a public announcement following executive session or scheduling a future meeting with a formal vote; the transcript includes no such follow-up details.
