Summary
The Jan. 20 agenda for the San Isidro ISD special meeting warns the board may move into closed session under Chapter 551 of the Texas Government Code and enumerates exceptions including Sections 551.071 and 551.074.
SAN ISIDRO, Texas — The San Isidro ISD special meeting agenda for Jan. 20, 2025 includes a public notice that the board may discuss agenda items in closed session under the Texas Open Meetings Act (Texas Government Code, Chapter 551).
The agenda lists specific statutory exceptions the board may use if it convenes closed session, including consultations with the board’s attorney (Section 551.071), deliberations about real property (Section 551.072), personnel matters such as appointment, employment or discipline (Section 551.074), and other enumerated exceptions such as security audits and certain school board deliberations. The agenda text repeats that "All votes, actions or decisions will be taken in open session," signaling the board’s stated intention to conduct any final votes publicly if and when those occur.
The agenda does not itself record whether the board moved into closed session or took any subsequent action on those exceptions during this meeting; it serves as public notice of the potential legal bases for a closed session under state law.
