Scurry-Rosser ISD board hires Anthony Figueroa as superintendent after executive session
Summary
After an executive session on personnel called under Texas open-meetings law, the board voted to hire Anthony Figueroa as superintendent; the minutes record the motion and a recorded tally of 7-0 but meeting attendance and some vote tallies in the minutes show inconsistencies that are noted below.
The Scurry-Rosser ISD Board of Trustees entered executive session at 7:01 p.m. on Dec. 12 under Tex. Gov’t Code 551.071 (consultation with attorney) and 551.074 (personnel matters) to discuss contracts, duties and evaluations of district personnel. The board returned to open session at 7:19 p.m., and James Whittington moved to hire Anthony Figueroa as superintendent; Drew Sloan seconded. The minutes record the motion as "carried una. (7-0)."
The minutes list board members present at the start of the meeting and indicate Bobby Bridges joined by facetime (noting a 7:19–7:21 interval). The minutes later record the adjournment motion as "carried una. (6-0)," which creates an internal inconsistency in recorded vote tallies relative to the (7-0) hiring tally and the attendance note for Bridges. The minutes provide no verbatim statements from candidates, no employment contract language, no start date for the new superintendent, and no salary or benefit figures.
Because the minutes do not include an employment contract or start date, district administrative offices should be contacted for the formal employment agreement and any related board resolutions. The executive session citation in the minutes is Tex. Gov’t Code 551.071 and 551.074, as recorded.
