Lockhart ISD Board votes to terminate probationary contracts of two teachers
Summary
Following closed session, the Board voted 6–0 to terminate the probationary contracts of teachers Christopher Craft and Frederick Horton and directed the Superintendent to provide notice as required by state law.
After convening in closed session, the Lockhart ISD Board of Trustees voted on April 27 to terminate the probationary contracts of two classroom teachers at the end of their contract terms. Trustee Dr. Barbara Sanchez moved both motions; Trustee Rene Rayos seconded each. The motions for Christopher Craft and Frederick Horton each carried 6–0.
The motions state the action is taken "in the best interests of the District" and direct the Superintendent to provide the employee notice in accordance with state law. The minutes record that the Board met in closed session under Texas Government Code Sections 551.071, 551.072, 551.074 and 551.129 and that no votes were taken in closed session; the termination motions were made after the Board returned to open session. The minutes do not state specific reasons for the terminations or whether the employees were represented; those details were not specified in the meeting record.
