Lamesa ISD board hires Impact Education Specialists to lead superintendent search
Summary
The Lamesa Board of Trustees voted 6-0 Sept. 22 to hire Impact Education Specialists, a team of retired superintendents, to conduct the district's superintendent search; the firm told the board it could begin the search as soon as the following Monday and will provide weekly email updates.
The Lamesa Independent School District Board of Trustees voted unanimously Sept. 22 to retain Impact Education Specialists to conduct the district's search for a new superintendent. Board President April Martinez called the special meeting to order at 5:30 p.m., and the motion to approve the firm passed 6-0 after a motion from Ron Mann and a second from Ernest Ogeda.
Retired Superintendent Keith Bryant introduced Impact Education Specialists and described the team as "retired superintendents with a combined 80 years of experience." Bryant told the board the firm would handle the behind-the-scenes work of recruiting and vetting candidates, could begin the search as early as the following Monday, and would keep trustees informed with weekly Friday emails. He summed up the firm's approach by saying, "Your District, Your Search." The board includes President April Martinez, Kevin Telchik, Melissa Cazares, Ernest Ogeda, Ron Mann and Rebecca H. Gonzales; Cindy Martinez was recorded as not present.
The immediate next step recorded in the minutes is that the board entered closed session at 6:01 p.m. and reconvened at 7:54 p.m.; the minutes do not record further public action from the closed session. The approval authorizes the district to proceed with a formal search process overseen by the contracted firm.
