Ballinger ISD ratifies resignations, approves new hires and terminates one contract
Summary
At its June 15 meeting the Ballinger ISD board approved multiple 2026–27 hires, ratified three resignations and voted to terminate a non–Chapter 21 contract after closed-session deliberations, citing lack of board action and the end of grant funding.
The Ballinger ISD Board of Trustees on June 15 approved several hires for the 2026–27 school year and ratified three staff resignations that were presented after a closed session.
The board listed new hires including Meagan Belew (Coop for Special Services), Brian Baker (high school teacher), Daniel Pascal (high school teacher) and Lisa Loehman (elementary teacher). Following executive session, the board "approved the termination of the 2026-27 non chapter 21 contract signed by Bailey Frederickson due to lack of Board action and end of grant funding for the 26-27 SY," a motion presented by Mrs. Buchanan and approved unanimously in open session. The board also "ratified the resignations of Dr. Kristi Cook, Ms. Shannon King, and Ms. Taylen Schwartz" as presented in closed session.
Board minutes show the personnel items were handled after a closed session held under Texas Government Code provisions for student privacy, personnel and school safety. No additional detail about the terminated contract or the reasons for the three resignations was included in the open-session motion; the minutes note the actions as presented from closed session.
