Mullin ISD board rejects proposal to let superintendent hire contracted workers
Summary
A motion to authorize the superintendent to hire contracted employees from March through August 2025 failed 4–3 at the March 18 Mullin ISD board meeting. Supporters said it would give flexibility; opponents voted against it citing concerns (not specified in the transcript).
A proposal to give Mullin ISD's superintendent authority to hire contracted employees as needed between March and August 2025 failed at the board's March 18 meeting.
"I approve we authorize the superintendent to hire contracted employees as needed from March 2025 through August 2025, subject to board policies and budgetary constraints," Trustee Dexter Morris said when making the motion; Kathryn Caulkins seconded. The motion failed on a 3–4 roll call: Caulkins, Marion Ferguson and Morris voted yes; Bud Day, Sabree Minard, Sandy Sanders and Troy Shelton voted no.
The public transcript records the motion text and the roll-call votes but contains no extended public debate explaining each member's rationale. The board proceeded to vote on calendars and pay-scale items later in the meeting.
