Petersburg ISD board approves superintendent administrative contract for 2026–2028
Summary
At a special April 10 meeting, the Petersburg ISD Board of Trustees approved the superintendent's recommended administrative contract covering the 2026–2028 school years by a 6-0 vote after a closed session under the Open Meetings Act (section 551.074).
The Petersburg Independent School District Board of Trustees approved the superintendent's recommendation for an administrative contract covering the 2026–2028 school years during a special meeting on April 10, 2026. The motion to approve was made by Julie Watson, the board secretary, and seconded by Lissa Orozco; the motion passed by a 6-0 vote with one member absent.
Board minutes show the action followed a closed session held "in accordance with the Open Meetings Act; section 551.074 et Seq." That statute citation was recorded in the minutes and corresponds to the personnel exception for closed meetings; the transcript records the closed session beginning shortly after the meeting opened and ending at 7:15 a.m. The transcript contains a typographical error for the closed-session start time (recorded as "7:202 a..m."); the corrected start time reported here is 7:02 a.m.
"Motion was made by Julie Watson, seconded by Lissa Orozco to approve the Superintendent’s Recommendation for an Administrative Contract for the 2026-2028 School Years," the meeting record shows. The minutes record the final tally as 6-0 in favor; the absent member was Travis Vaughn. The transcript does not specify financial terms, contract length beyond the 2026—2028 school-year span, or an effective date for the contract.
Present at the special meeting were Board President Collin Kattner and board members Julie Watson, Lissa Orozco, Linda Padron, John B. Gicante III and Stephen Marquez; school personnel Todd Newberry and Shayna Lopez were listed as present. The meeting adjourned after the vote.
