Parents and Players Urge Hudson ISD Board to Reconsider Reassignment of Head Basketball Coach
Summary
Multiple parents and student-athletes addressed the Hudson ISD Board on March 19, 2026 to oppose the reassignment of Head Basketball Coach Jeffrey Brantner, reading statements and urging the board to reverse the personnel decision.
At the Hudson ISD Board meeting on March 19, 2026, several parents and students addressed trustees to oppose the reassignment of Head Basketball Coach Jeffrey Brantner.
Emily May, identified in the record as a parent, spoke during the Open Forum and urged trustees to reconsider the reassignment. Student player Cullen Brantner also spoke in opposition. Victoria Hutto read a statement submitted by Channing Howatt, who could not attend because of a track meet; Courtney Kirkland read a statement from Ceylan Williams, who was ill and unable to attend. The speakers asked the board to reverse or revisit the personnel decision affecting Coach Jeffrey Brantner.
The board did not announce a response or a formal vote on the coach's assignment at the meeting; instead, trustees proceeded to other agenda items and later entered a closed executive session under Texas Government Code §551.074 (personnel). The public comments regarding the coach remained a matter raised during the Open Forum and were not recorded as resulting in immediate board action.
The board later reconvened in open session and approved a large set of term and probationary contracts for the 2026–2027 school year as presented.
What happens next: the transcript shows the issue was raised in public comment but does not record any board decision on the coach reassignment during open session. If the board acts later, the district will need to announce any personnel changes or board directives in a subsequent meeting notice or official release.
