The Hale Center ISD Board of Trustees voted 6-0 on March 23 to name Hector Dominguez the lone finalist for superintendent after closed-session interviews; the district scheduled its next meeting for April 14 to satisfy the 21-day waiting period.

The Hale Center Independent School District Board of Trustees voted 6-0 on March 23 to name Hector Dominguez as the lone finalist for superintendent following closed-session candidate interviews. "Chance Crossland moved to name Hector Dominguez as the Lone Finalist for the Hale Center ISD Superintendent," the board record shows; Meranda Sierra seconded the motion and the board recorded votes in favor by Johnson, Chandler, Crossland, Huffhines, McGann and Sierra.

The action followed a closed meeting in which the board discussed and conducted interviews of candidates under the Texas Open Meetings Act. Board President Pam Johnson announced the closed meeting at 6:01 p.m., citing Texas Government Code §551.074, which allows governing bodies to discuss personnel matters in private. The board returned to open session at 6:13 p.m. before taking the lone-finalist vote.

By naming a lone finalist, the board triggered a statutory 21-day waiting period before final employment action may be completed. To satisfy that requirement, the board agreed to move its next meeting to April 14 at 6:30 p.m.

No salary, contract terms or effective start date for the finalist were stated in the meeting record. The district listed Kelly Baggett as school personnel on the meeting notice and noted Trustee Jack Needham as absent.
