Summary
The Bastrop ISD Board unanimously named Interim Superintendent Dr. Kristi Lee the lone finalist for the superintendent position and authorized the board president to negotiate her contract following closed‑session consideration.
The Bastrop Independent School District Board of Trustees voted unanimously Nov. 18 to name Interim Superintendent Dr. Kristi Lee the lone finalist for the district’s superintendent position and authorized the board president to negotiate a contract on behalf of the board.
The motion was made by Vice‑President Chris M. Dillon and seconded by Dr. Matthew Mix after the board completed a closed session to consider superintendent candidates under Texas Government Code provisions. The board took the action in open session, and the motion carried on a show of hands with all seven members voting yea.
Board President Ashley Mutschink and Vice‑President Chris Dillon both commended Dr. Lee for her service while serving as interim, noting the board’s confidence in her leadership during the transition. No contract terms were disclosed during the meeting; the board authorized the president to complete negotiations as discussed in closed session.
Procedural next steps under state law include any public notice requirements related to a lone‑finalist designation and subsequent contract execution; the board did not announce a timetable for final approval at the Nov. 18 meeting.
