Board appoints Brandon Crisp as acting superintendent effective Aug. 6
Summary
The board voted to appoint Brandon Crisp as acting superintendent effective Aug. 6, 2026, and approved additional compensation for duties associated with the role; specific compensation amounts and vote counts were not disclosed in open session.
The Southwest ISD Board voted on Aug. 5 to appoint Brandon Crisp as acting superintendent effective Aug. 6, 2026, and to provide additional compensation for the duties associated with serving as acting superintendent.
A board member moved “that the board appoint Brandon Crisp to serve as acting superintendent effective 08/06/2026 and further move that the board approve the provision of additional compensation for the duties associated with serving as acting superintendent.” The chair seconded the motion and announced the motion passed after the vote; the transcript does not show the vote tally or the amount of additional compensation.
The chair framed the action as part of a mutual agreement between the board and the superintendent and said the board would work with the acting superintendent ‘‘as much as it takes’’ to make the transition successful. The minutes and transcript show the board intends to implement the appointment at 12:01 a.m. on Aug. 6.
The board did not disclose details about the compensation adjustment in open session; the motion references terms discussed in closed session and directs the board president to execute documentation as needed.
