Center ISD board accepts trustee resignation, will appoint replacement at next meeting
Summary
The Center Independent School District Board accepted Trustee Traci Willoughby’s resignation and voted to appoint a replacement at its next regular meeting after discussing appointment versus election and a potential $5,000 election cost.
The Center Independent School District Board of Trustees on May 8 accepted the resignation of Trustee Traci Willoughby and voted to fill the vacancy by appointment at the board’s next regular meeting.
Dr. Brian Morris, the district superintendent, told trustees the district’s attorney confirmed the board could appoint a replacement; holding an election was an alternative but “could cost the District at least $5,000,” he said. After discussion, Casey Lout moved and Cody Miller seconded a motion to accept Willoughby’s resignation; the motion carried 6-0. The board later voted to appoint a new member at the next regular meeting (motion by Casey Lout; second by Cody Miller), vote recorded 6-0.
The minutes do not name the person the board intends to appoint. Board members discussed the procedural options and the district’s fiscal consideration for an election; the district will place the appointment on the next regular meeting agenda for formal selection.
