Chico ISD board holds two closed sessions covering personnel, contracts and student matters
Summary
The board met in closed session on March 12 under multiple Texas Government Code provisions to discuss attorney consultation, property, administrator contracts, personnel matters, investments, security and student issues. The board reconvened and approved unspecified items from closed session.
The Chico ISD Board of Trustees convened two closed sessions during its March 12 special meeting to consider a range of nonpublic matters, announcing the meetings under the Texas Open Meetings Act.
Board President Kyle Grimes announced the initial closed session at 6:47 p.m., stating: "In accordance with the Texas Open Meetings Act, the Chico ISD Board of Trustees on March 12, 2026, at 6:47 p.m. will convene in a closed meeting to consider and discuss any of the following:" and then listing agenda categories including attorney consultation, real property matters, administrator contracts, prospective gifts, personnel matters, investment conferences, security deployment, student-discipline and student-information items, and consultations with employee-group representatives (citing Texas Government Code sections 551.071, .072, .073, .074, .075, .076, .082, .0821, .083 and .084).
The publicly posted agenda specifically identified administrator contract categories under discussion: High School Principal, Middle School Principal, Elementary School Principal, Athletic Director, Elementary/Middle School Counselor and Academic Services Coordinator/High School Counselor. The board's open-session minutes record returning from closed session at 7:20 p.m. after the first closed meeting; a second closed session is recorded as starting at 7:22 p.m. and ending at 7:37 p.m.
When the board reconvened in open session it recorded a vote to "approve the following items from closed session," but the public transcript does not specify which items were approved or include text of the motions. Because Texas law generally restricts disclosure of closed-session deliberations, the public record provided only the statutory citations and the list of topic categories discussed.
