Waco ISD board approves notice of proposed non‑renewal for teacher Ashley‑Elizabeth Vermeulen‑Wise
Summary
The Waco ISD Board voted unanimously April 23 to give teacher Ashley‑Elizabeth Vermeulen‑Wise notice of proposed non‑renewal of her term contract; the minutes record the action as pursuant to the Texas Education Code and note a unanimous (6‑0) vote.
The Waco ISD Board of Trustees voted unanimously on April 23 to approve the superintendent's recommendation to give teacher Ashley‑Elizabeth Vermeulen‑Wise notice of proposed non‑renewal of a term contract, a step recorded in the minutes as being "pursuant to the Texas Education Code." The minutes state the motion passed unanimously (6-0).
The agenda also listed a separate superintendent recommendation to terminate the probationary contract of a teacher named Edward Vermeulen-Wise; the minutes record that the termination item "was not taken into consideration and no discussion or action was taken." The meeting minutes contain an inconsistency about who moved and who seconded the non‑renewal motion: one line attributes a motion to Board President Jose Vidana and a subsequent line records a motion by Trustee Taylor Bledsoe seconded by Trustee Jeremy Davis. The minutes record only the final tally (6-0) and do not provide a clear, consistent mover/seconder pair for the record.
The minutes do not state next administrative steps beyond giving notice; the entry references the Texas Education Code but does not quote specific statutory language or specify timelines in the public minutes.
