Goose Creek CISD trustees approve superintendent evaluation and amend contract after closed session

President Helen Berrott-Tims presided over a March 30 special meeting of the Goose Creek Consolidated Independent School District Board of Trustees and the board voted to approve the superintendent's evaluation and amend the superintendent's contract.

After recessing into closed session at about 5:40 p.m. under the Texas Open Meetings Act for "a private consultation with the Board's attorney on legal advice regarding Superintendent evaluation, Superintendent contract, and related actions" and for consideration of the superintendent's evaluation and contract terms, the board reconvened at approximately 8:11 p.m. The minutes state that no action was taken while in closed session.

In open session, Mr. Richard Clem moved and Mrs. Tiffany Guy seconded "THAT THE BOARD APPROVE THE SUPERINTENDENT'S EVALUATION AND AMEND THE CONTRACT AS DISCUSSED IN CLOSE SESSION." The board recorded votes in favor from Mrs. Helen Berrott-Tims, Mrs. Tiffany Guy, James "Jim" Campisi, Mr. Mercedes Renteria III, Mr. Richard Clem and Mr. Howard Sampson; one trustee, Mr. Jessie Martinez, was absent. The motion passed.

The meeting was recorded as adjourned at 8:12 p.m. The meeting minutes list Mrs. Helen Berrott-Tims as president in the attendance roster and as presiding at reconvening; the adjournment line names James "Jim" Campisi as having adjourned. The minutes contain this internal inconsistency; this article follows the attendance roster that identifies Helen Berrott-Tims as board president and records the board's formal approval taken on the evaluation and contract amendment in open session.
