Kenedy County‑Wide trustees table action on superintendent resignation, return to open session
Summary
After a closed-session discussion about a superintendent resignation and related legal matters, the Kenedy County‑Wide Common School District board returned to open session and unanimously voted to table consideration of the resignation and transition matters.
Board President Felix Serna called the Kenedy County‑Wide Common School District Board of Trustees to order at 7:03 P.M. on April 15, 2026 in the Sarita School Board Room. Trustees Gerardo Medellin and Leticia Vela were present.
At 7:30 P.M., Serna announced the meeting moved into a closed session under the Texas Open Meetings Act: "pursuant to sections 551.071, 551.074 and 551.129, Texas Government Code," to discuss a Superintendent/Principal resignation and to consult with the district's legal counsel regarding legal matters related to the resignation and transition. The board returned to open session at 8:20 P.M.
In open session Trustee Leticia Vela moved and Trustee Gerardo Medellin seconded "to table the consideration and possible action regarding Superintendent/Principal resignation." The motion carried unanimously with Vela, Medellin and Serna voting "Yea." The trustees then made a separate, unanimous motion to table "the consideration and possible action regarding Superintendent/Principal transition matters." No substantive action on the resignation or transition was taken during the meeting.
The board’s use of a closed session for personnel and legal consultation follows the exemptions in the Texas Government Code cited by the board, which allow confidential discussion of personnel and attorney‑client matters. The board did not announce any timetable for revisiting the resignation or transition items before tabling them.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:21 P.M. by President Felix Serna.
