Perryton ISD board consulted counsel in closed session on ongoing student lawsuit
Summary
Trustees met in executive session under Texas Government Code §§551.074 and 551.071 to receive personnel updates and legal advice on the lawsuit styled S.J. v. Perryton ISD (Case No. 2:24-CV-00168-Z); no privileged details were released in open session.
The Perryton ISD Board of Trustees convened an executive session at 7:30 p.m. on May 18 under Texas Government Code §551.074 (personnel matters) and §551.071 (attorney consultation). The board later reported that it had consulted with legal counsel regarding the lawsuit styled "S.J., as parent, Conservator, and Next Friend of N.J. v. Perryton Independent School District, et al., Case Number 2:24-CV-00168-Z," pending in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Amarillo Division. The board provided no privileged or substantive legal details in open session.
By law the board may meet in closed session for attorney consultation; the transcript records the consultation and the case caption, but the minutes do not disclose advice received or internal deliberations discussed in closed session.
