Summary
At a Sept. 9, 2025 special called meeting, Board President Beth Bridges submitted a letter of resignation that the board accepted 7-0.

Board President Beth Bridges submitted a letter of resignation as president at a special called meeting of the Lubbock Independent School District Board of Trustees on Sept. 9, 2025; she told the board she would remain on the board as a member. "Ms. Bridges began by directing the Board's attention to her letter of resignation as Board President, stating she will remain on the board as a member," the minutes state.
Trustee Ryan Curry moved to accept Bridges' letter of resignation; John Weddige seconded the motion and the board voted 7-0 to accept. Following that vote, Ann Manning opened nominations for board president and Jason Ratliff nominated Ryan Curry. A subsequent formal motion to elect Curry passed 7-0, and the minutes record that "Ms. Bridges passed the gavel to Mr. Curry, who then presided over the remainder of the meeting." The minutes do not record reasons for Bridges' resignation beyond the letter nor any dissent on the votes.
The newly presiding board then filled other officer posts: Beth Bridges nominated Jason Ratliff for vice president; the motion passed 7-0. Lala Chavez nominated Nancy Sharp for secretary; that motion also passed 7-0. The minutes record the motions and unanimous tallies but do not include verbatim statements or further explanation for the nominations.
The board's reorganization votes were recorded in the minutes as unanimous (7-0). Motion records in the minutes list the mover and seconder for each recorded motion but do not provide individual roll-call votes. No additional policy actions, budgets, or substantive agenda items were recorded in these minutes beyond the officer elections and the subsequent executive closed session.
