WEST ORANGE-COVE CISD board declines closed session on superintendent employment
Summary
The board listed attorney consultation under Texas Government Code provisions but President LaTricia Stroud said there would be no closed session if there were no objections; no objections were raised and the board did not enter closed session.
The WEST ORANGE-COVE CISD Board of Trustees listed attorney consultation and personnel matters related to the employment of a new superintendent under Tex. Gov't Code 551.071–551.084 and 551.074 on its May 28 agenda. President LaTricia Stroud stated there would be no closed session if there were no objections, and no trustee objected.
Because the board did not enter closed session, the personnel action (the vote to approve Dr. Alicia Sigee as superintendent) was taken in open session. The transcript references the relevant state law sections but does not record an attorney consultation occurring in closed session. The agenda also contains the administrative line "Approved: 6/23/2025," which the transcript does not clarify.
The board convened the called meeting at 6:00 P.M. and adjourned at 6:06 P.M. Trustees present were Linda Platt-Bryant, Donny Teate Jr., Gina Yeaman, Demetrius Hunter, Tommy Wilson Sr., and LaTricia Stroud; Roderick Robertson was absent. The transcript does not record any additional legal advice provided during the open session.
