At a special-called meeting March 3, 2025, the Winona ISD Board of Trustees unanimously voted to retain the Wes Hickey Firm to conduct the district's superintendent search; the decision followed an executive session on the superintendent transition.
The Winona ISD Board of Trustees voted unanimously March 3, 2025 to hire the Wes Hickey Firm to conduct the district's superintendent search. Trustee Mark Wintters moved the motion and Trustee Aaron Wilson seconded; the minutes record the vote as unanimous and that the decision carried.
The action followed a closed executive session that the board convened at 6:02 p.m. to consult with counsel and to consider personnel matters related to the superintendent transition and search. The minutes cite Texas Government Code provisions authorizing consultation with legal counsel and consideration of personnel matters and record the board's reconvening at 8:01 p.m.
The minutes do not specify the contract terms, fee schedule or timeline for the search firm; those details were not included in the record and are listed as not specified. The board's vote directs the district to proceed with a formal search process under the firm's guidance; staff did not provide a start date or estimated completion date in the minutes.
Votes at the March 3 meeting were recorded as unanimous among the seven trustees present (Connie Gibbs, William Allen, Diane Newman, Randy Hawkins, Scott Jones, Aaron Wilson and Mark Wintters).
