Plains ISD board approves multiple personnel items; two trustees abstain on some contract votes
Summary
Following a closed session March 30, 2026, the Plains ISD board approved routine personnel actions and multiple probationary and term contracts; two trustees abstained on the probationary/term-contract vote for 2026–2027.
After returning from a closed session for personnel matters, the Plains Independent School District Board of Trustees approved a slate of personnel actions recorded in the minutes.
The board entered closed session at 6:29 p.m. under Section 551.074 of the Texas Government Code and reconvened in open session at 8:11 p.m. Upon return, Item X.E.I (Routine Personnel Report) was approved on a motion from Trustee Shayne Griffiths with a second from Trustee Jared Bell; the minutes record the motion carried 7–0. Item X.E.II (Probationary and Term Contracts for 2026–2027) was then considered and approved; the minutes note the motion carried 5–0 with Vice President Steven Bunch and Secretary Patrick Hogue abstaining. Item X.E.III (Probationary & Term Contracts for the 2026–2027 Four County Coop Employees) was approved on a motion by Trustee Patrick Hogue and second by Vice President Steven Bunch, recorded 7–0.
The minutes do not list the names of all individuals on the routine personnel report or provide contract start dates, salary figures or hiring justifications in the excerpt provided. The record shows the board used its statutory personnel-exception authority to deliberate in closed session and then took formal votes in open session.
