Burleson ISD board grants president authority to approve professional hires before February meeting
Summary
Trustees voted unanimously to empower Board President Jerri McNair to approve new professional hires between the Jan. 12 and Feb. regular meetings; hires will be ratified by the full board in February.
The Burleson Independent School District Board of Trustees voted Jan. 12 to grant Board President Jerri McNair authority to approve new professional hires between the Jan. 12 meeting and the board’s next regular meeting in February.
The motion was made by Mr. Michael Ancy and seconded by Mr. Ryan Richardson. According to the minutes, "the Board will consider ratifying those hires at the next meeting." The motion passed with five yeas and no nays: Michael Ancy, Jerri McNair, Dallas Owen, Ryan Richardson and Pat Worrell.
The authority applies to professional personnel hires; the minutes list personnel matters as a closed-session topic under Texas Government Code Chapter 551. The board did not record any specific hires during the Jan. 12 meeting; staff told the board that ratification of any hires will be placed on the February agenda for approval.
The board’s action is a procedural step that allows staffing decisions to proceed before the full board reconvenes. The minutes do not specify any limits on dollar amounts, contract lengths, or job titles for hires approved under this delegation.
