Board approves certification waivers; names T‑TESS appraisers and adopts appraisal calendar
Summary
Trustees approved certification waivers and emergency permits for non‑certified staff serving in teaching roles, named T‑TESS appraisers (principals, assistant principals, Anthony Agundiz, Kim Thomas), and adopted an appraisal calendar with a formal observation period the board recorded as Oct. 10, 2025–April 10, 2026 (administrative materials also reference Oct. 6 as the first day of the second six‑week period).
CFO Kati Jones and Superintendent Dr. Stacy Parker presented certification waiver requests under TEA guidance and the district's District of Innovation Plan to permit non‑certified staff to serve in teaching roles for 2025–26; the board approved the waivers and emergency permit requests (motion by Roy Porras, seconded by Nancy Upchurch; passed 6–0).
The board also approved a slate of T‑TESS appraisers—campus principals and assistant principals plus Mr. Anthony Agundiz and Mrs. Kim Thomas—to serve as evaluators during the 2025–26 school year. Trustees approved the appraisal calendar and set the formal observation period in the board action to begin Oct. 10, 2025 and end April 10, 2026. Administrative notes in the same packet reference Oct. 6, 2025 as the first day of the second six‑week period; the board record reflects the Oct. 10–April 10 range as the formal observation window.
