Board records personnel actions and authorizes litigation action discussed in closed session
Summary
In closed session the board reviewed personnel items (hires, resignations, retirements) and consulted with counsel on pending litigation (5:25-cv-01613 Ashby v. Fort Sam Houston ISD). When the board reconvened it approved the litigation action as discussed in closed session.
The Fort Sam Houston ISD Board convened in closed session under Texas Government Code Sections 551.071 and 551.074 to consider personnel matters and a pending federal lawsuit (5:25-cv-01613; Odulia Ashby, et al v. Fort Sam Houston Independent School District, et al).
Personnel matters recorded in the minutes included the hiring of Nina Cabornay as a special education paraeducator (effective Jan. 5, 2026), several resignations effective in January or February (listed in the packet), and retirements with effective dates in late May 2026. No terminations were recorded. After closed session the board reconvened and approved the action regarding the pending litigation unanimously (mover: Willie White; second: COL(R) Aaron J. Braxton II). The board recorded Yeas: Nicholas, Zinnante, Braxton, Sizer, and White; Nays: None.
The minutes do not detail the substance of the litigation discussion beyond noting the statutory authority for closed consultation with counsel; the record shows the motion to approve the action discussed in closed session passed unanimously.
