Summary
On April 15, 2026, Abernathy ISD trustees approved a resolution delegating final hiring authority for contractual personnel to Superintendent Glen Hill from April 15 through Aug. 9, 2026, citing Board policy DC and Texas Education Code §11.1513. The motion passed 4–0.
The Abernathy Independent School District Board of Trustees voted April 15, 2026, to delegate final hiring authority for contractual personnel to Superintendent Glen Hill on a temporary basis.
Trustee Ty Horsford moved to approve the resolution granting the superintendent final hiring authority of contractual personnel until the Regular August 2026 Board Meeting; Trustee Matt Riley seconded. The motion passed 4–0 with three trustees absent. The resolution language on the record cites Board policy DC (LOCAL), DC (LEGAL) and Texas Education Code §11.1513 as the legal basis for permitting the delegation.
The board specified the delegation is temporary and will expire on Aug. 9, 2026. The resolution states the change aims to allow timely hiring during summer months when it can be difficult to assemble a quorum; the record does not show the board setting additional limits or reporting requirements beyond the expiration date. The resolution text included in the record affirms the board will resume final hiring authority after Aug. 9, 2026.
