Summary
At a March 13 special meeting the Silsbee ISD Board of Trustees met in executive session under Texas Gov't Code 551.074 to discuss personnel matters, potential program changes that could lead to a reduction in force, and options for early-resignation incentives; the board reconvened and adjourned at 7:08 p.m.
Silsbee Independent School District trustees met in a special session March 13, 2025, convening at 5:30 p.m. in the district administration boardroom. Board President Derrell Ferguson called the meeting to order and established a quorum; staff present included Dr. Gregg Weiss, Karen Ford and Missy Sundgren.
The board entered executive session at 5:30 p.m. under Texas Gov't Code 551.074 for personnel matters. The executive-session agenda identified two topics: potential program changes that could result in a reduction in force, and consideration of early-resignation incentives for employees. The minutes record that these items were discussed in closed session; no formal votes or policy decisions on those topics are recorded in the open minutes.
Board members reconvened in open session at 7:08 p.m. The meeting minutes show a motion to adjourn made by Jim de Garavilla and seconded by Dana Hancock; the motion passed unanimously at 7:08 p.m. The minutes note that a Regular meeting followed.
The actions recorded in the minutes are procedural: the invocation and pledge were deferred to the Regular meeting and the only formal motion recorded was the motion to adjourn. The minutes do not list specific staff positions affected, dollar amounts, timelines, or which programs were under consideration for reduction. Those details were not specified in the publicly posted minutes.
