Burleson ISD board approves superintendent contract extension after closed-session evaluation

The Burleson Independent School District Board of Trustees voted unanimously on March 12, 2026, to offer the superintendent a contract extension and a compensation package based on terms discussed during the superintendent's evaluation. The motion was made by Mr. Ryan Richardson and seconded by Ms. Pat Worrell; the minutes record seven "yeas" and no "nays."

The action followed a special-board meeting that began at 6:30 p.m. in the district administration board room at 1160 S.W. Wilshire Blvd., Burleson. President Jerri McNair announced the board would adjourn into closed session at 6:31 p.m. under the Texas Government Code, Title 5, Chapter 551, to consider personnel and other listed matters before reconvening at 8:56 p.m.

The minutes list personnel, a prospective negotiated contract for a gift or donation, security matters, student-discipline issues, real-property deliberations, and attorney consultation among the closed-session topics. The minutes do not disclose the confidential deliberations or the terms discussed in closed session; the open minutes show only that the board authorized offering the superintendent a contract extension and compensation package "according to the terms discussed during the superintendent's evaluation."

Open forum was held at the start of the meeting and the minutes record that there were no public comments. The minutes of this special meeting were approved on April 13, 2026; the board's signature block lists President Jerri McNair and Secretary Dallas Owen.
