Waco ISD board schedules special meeting to interview superintendent applicants

The Waco Independent School District Board of Trustees published notice that it will hold a special meeting on Aug. 27, 2024, at 6:00 p.m. at Triangle Tower, 510 N. Valley Mills Drive in Waco to consider personnel matters and to interview superintendent applicants. "A Special Meeting of the Board of Trustees of Waco Independent School District will be held August 27, 2024, beginning at 6:00 PM at the Triangle Tower, 510 N. Valley Mills Dr, Waco, Texas 76710," the meeting notice states.

The agenda posted with the notice lists three items: a call to order; consideration of personnel (including deliberation on appointment, employment, evaluation, reassignment, duties, discipline or dismissal and specifically "Board Interview and Discussion of Superintendent Applicants"); and adjournment. The agenda also notes that items "do not have to be taken in the same order as shown on this meeting notice/agenda." The notice does not record any motions, votes, or other board actions; it only sets the meeting's purpose and logistics.

The special meeting is convened by the Waco Independent School District Board of Trustees. The notice functions as the formal public announcement of the meeting date, time and topics to be considered; it indicates the Board intends to address superintendent selection matters but provides no further details about applicants, schedules for individual interviews, or whether any final personnel actions will be taken that evening. The agenda's personnel language references a range of personnel matters the Board may deliberate — appointment, employment, evaluation, reassignment, duties, discipline or dismissal — but does not specify which of those actions, if any, will occur.
