Chapel Hill ISD board asks SBEC to consider sanctions for employee Andrea Roark, finds resignation not for 'good cause'
Summary
Trustees directed the superintendent to notify the State Board for Educator Certification that the board finds Andrea Roark’s resignation does not meet Texas Education Code 21.105 good-cause standards and that she abandoned her contract by failing to report to work on April 7, 2026.
The Chapel Hill ISD Board voted April 20 to ask the State Board for Educator Certification (SBEC) to consider sanctions against employee Andrea Roark's certificate after concluding that her resignation did not meet the "good cause" standards under Texas Education Code Section 21.105. Trustee David Acker moved the action and Dr. Amy Hayes seconded; the motion passed 6-0 with one trustee absent.
In moving the motion, the board record states it considered Roark's resignation and found that the employee's first missed day without the District's permission was April 7, 2026, which the Board identified as the effective separation date. The motion language included: "and that by attempting to resign and then not reporting for duty, Andrea Roark has abandoned her employment contract with Chapel Hill ISD and has therefore failed to perform under the terms of that contract." The Board directed the Superintendent to submit the Board action and any related correspondence to SBEC for consideration.
