Sinton ISD board backs 'Level II' personnel decision after closed executive session

The Sinton Independent School District Board of Trustees met in a special session on Aug. 7, 2025, at the district administration building in Sinton. Board President Jimmie Alaniz called the meeting to order at 6:01 p.m.; a quorum of five trustees was recorded and Superintendent Dr. Andy Reddock was present.

Trustees immediately entered a closed executive session at 6:01 p.m. under provisions of the Texas Government Code for attorney consultation (Gov't Code 551.071 and 551.129), personnel matters (Gov't Code 551.074) and discussions involving personally identifiable student information (Gov't Code 551.0821). The board reconvened in open session at 6:37 p.m.

After returning to open session, Trustee Sam P. Lankford moved “to support the Level II decision.” Trustee Thomas Bowers seconded the motion. The motion passed on a 5-0 vote; the minutes record Trustees Jimmie Alaniz, Sam P. Lankford, Israel Ethan Garza, Thomas Bowers and Richard Gingrich as voting in favor. Board Secretary Crystal Saldaña and Board Vice President Danny Lorberau were noted as not in attendance.

The minutes and motion language do not specify details of the Level II decision discussed in closed session. Because personnel and student matters were considered in executive session, the board did not disclose additional particulars in open session beyond recording the motion and vote. The special meeting adjourned at 7:40 p.m.

Future steps: the record does not specify any follow-up actions, reports or timelines tied to the board’s vote; those details were not provided in the minutes and are therefore not specified.
