Perryton ISD board holds executive session on personnel and pending litigation
Summary
The board convened an executive session under Texas Government Code §§551.074 and 551.071 from 6:18–6:57 p.m. to discuss personnel matters and to consult the district’s attorney about the pending case S.J. v. Perryton ISD, Case No. 2:24‑CV‑00168‑Z. No confidential details were released in open session.
At 6:18 p.m. President Wes Beal announced the board would move into executive session under Texas Government Code, Section 551.074 (personnel matters) and Section 551.071 (attorney consultation). The board returned to open session at 6:57 p.m.
The minutes record the closed-session topics at a high level only. They identify the attorney-consultation item as the lawsuit styled: "S.J., as parent, Conservator, and Next Friend of N.J. V. Perryton Independent School District, et al, Case Number: 2:24-CV-00168-Z," pending in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Amarillo Division. The public minutes do not report substance from the closed session; Texas Open Meetings law allows the board to discuss personnel and receive legal advice in closed session.
No formal action or vote tied to the closed session topics is recorded in the public portion of the minutes; the board returned to open session and continued with the agenda.
