Summary
After a closed session held May 11, 2026, trustees assigned the Level Three employee grievance appeal of Ann Gibbs to a hearing officer, accepted the hearing officer's recommendation on Maquaya Hardy, and approved rescinding a contract approval to propose nonrenewal of Emily Agina's term contract; all motions carried 7-0.
The Fort Bend ISD Board of Trustees met in closed session beginning at 7:55 p.m. on May 11 to consider legal consultations, personnel matters and student-discipline issues under the Texas Open Meetings Act (Texas Government Code Chapter 551). When the board reconvened in open session at 8:56 p.m., it acted on several closed-session items.
Trustees voted to assign the Level Three employee grievance appeal of Ann Gibbs to the board's designated hearing officer under Board Policy DGBA (Local) (motion by Trustee Charania; second by Trustee Heyliger). The board accepted the hearing officer's recommendation regarding the Level Three DGBA grievance of Maquaya Hardy (motion by Trustee Wierzbicki; second by Dr. Gilliam).

All votes were unanimous, 7-0.
