Waco ISD trustees schedule Sept. 3 special meeting to interview superintendent applicants

The Board of Trustees of Waco Independent School District will hold a special meeting on Sept. 3, 2024, beginning at 6:00 p.m. at the Northwood House, 1609 College Drive in Waco, the district's meeting notice says. The agenda identifies a single substantive item: consideration of personnel related to the superintendent search.

The district's published agenda states: "Deliberate the Appointment, Employment, Evaluation, Reassignment, Duties, Discipline or Dismissal of Public Officer or Employee - Board Interview and Discussion of Superintendent Applicants." That language appears on the formal meeting notice and signals trustees intend to interview superintendent applicants and may deliberate personnel matters during the session. The notice does not list the names of applicants, any proposed motions, or a scheduled vote.

The agenda also notes that "Items do not have to be taken in the same order as shown on this meeting notice/agenda," giving trustees procedural flexibility in handling interviews and any related personnel actions. Item 1 on the agenda is a call to order and item 3 is adjournment; no additional agenda items or public-comment details are provided on the notice distributed with the meeting announcement.

Because the document is a meeting notice rather than minutes or a transcript of discussion, it does not record any trustee remarks, candidate statements, or formal actions. The meeting will provide the trustees an opportunity to interview candidates and to deliberate personnel decisions; any formal appointment, employment action or vote would be recorded in subsequent minutes or official action records.
