Bullard ISD board holds closed-session interviews for superintendent candidates
Summary
At a Feb. 23, 2026 special meeting, the Bullard ISD Board of Trustees entered closed session under Section 551.074 of the Texas Government Code to conduct interviews with superintendent candidates; official-minute times were left blank on the agenda template.
The Bullard Independent School District Board of Trustees convened a special meeting on Feb. 23, 2026, with a closed session scheduled "Section 551.074 - Conduct Interviews with Superintendent Candidates," according to the agenda template. The meeting notice lists the location as the Bullard ISD Administration Office, 1426B South Houston, Bullard, Texas, and the agenda shows a 5:30 p.m. start time.
The agenda and official-minute form instruct staff to record the start of the closed session in the minutes: "Let the OFFICIAL MINUTES state that closed session is now declared at _______ p.m. on February 23, 2026 for the Bullard Independent School District – Board of Trustees." The agenda also reiterates compliance with the Texas Open Meetings Act (Texas Government Code, Chapter 551) and directs that interviews under Section 551.074 be conducted in closed session. The meeting packet lists trustees Stephanie Luper, Chris McNertney, Jaclyn Pedersen, Brian Hebert, Susie Saxion, Jason Stainback and Brian Vestal on the roll-call form, though presence/absence checkboxes are not filled in the provided transcript.
Under Texas law, Section 551.074 permits a board to meet in closed session to discuss personnel matters such as superintendent interviews; the board's agenda follows that statutory citation explicitly. The minutes template also provides a reconvene line for the board to return to open session and resume business, but the reconvene and adjournment times were left blank in the copy of the agenda provided in the transcript.
