Hale Center ISD board convenes closed session to interview superintendent candidates under state law
Summary
Trustees moved into a closed meeting on March 23 to interview candidates for superintendent under Texas Government Code §551.074 and returned to open session before naming a lone finalist.
At 6:01 p.m. on March 23, Board President Pam Johnson advised that the Board would move into a closed meeting "as permitted by the Texas Open Meetings Act: Texas Government Code $551.074," to discuss and conduct interviews of candidates for potential employment as the district's superintendent. The board returned to open session at 6:13 p.m. and subsequently voted to name Hector Dominguez the lone finalist.
Texas Government Code §551.074 authorizes governmental bodies to discuss personnel matters in closed session; the board cited that statute explicitly in the meeting record. The meeting record does not disclose the content of the interviews or list other candidate names; that material is protected by the cited statutory exception.
