Waco ISD board schedules special meeting to interview superintendent applicants

The Board of Trustees of the Waco Independent School District posted a special meeting notice saying it will hold interviews and discussion of superintendent applicants at Triangle Tower, 510 N. Valley Mills Drive in Waco. The notice specifies a 6:00 p.m. start time and identifies the agenda item as a deliberation concerning the appointment, employment, evaluation, reassignment, duties, discipline or dismissal of a public officer or employee related to superintendent candidates.

The public notice includes two different dates: a header line reads 'August 28, 2024,' while the body of the notice states the special meeting "will be held August 27, 2024, beginning at 6:00 PM." The district notice does not record any votes, interview outcomes or participant names; it simply lists the agenda and the location. No further details about candidate names, interview format, or whether the meeting will be open to the public or held in executive session are provided in the posted notice.

The meeting agenda lists three items: (1) Call to Order; (2) Consideration of Personnel, described specifically as 'Board Interview and Discussion of Superintendent Applicants'; and (3) Adjournment. The notice does not indicate any scheduled votes or formal actions beyond the stated deliberations. For anyone planning to attend, the notice should be treated as the district's announcement of intent to interview superintendent applicants, but the conflicting date lines mean prospective participants should confirm the final meeting date and time with the district.
