Board certifies T‑TESS appraisers for 2025–2026 school year
Summary
Trustees approved four administrators—Wayne Borden, Dr. Nikki Saxton, Dr. Walter Peddy and Superintendent Matthew L. Everett—as certified T‑TESS evaluators for the 2025–2026 school year.
The Leverett's Chapel ISD Board of Trustees unanimously approved a slate of certified T‑TESS appraisers for the 2025–2026 school year at its Nov. 18 meeting.
The board approved Wayne Borden (Secondary Principal), Dr. Nikki Saxton (Elementary Principal), Dr. Walter Peddy (Executive Director of Academic Performance and Innovation), and Matthew L. Everett (Superintendent) to serve as official T‑TESS evaluators. The minutes note the district transitioned to the Texas Teacher Evaluation and Support System (T‑TESS) as its official appraisal instrument for 2025–2026; all individuals conducting formal appraisals must hold current T‑TESS certification and be approved annually by the local board.
Trustee Jimmie Faye Waller moved to approve the list and Manuel Dennis seconded; "all were in favor" and the motion passed, the minutes state. The district did not list any conditions or staggered approval in the meeting minutes.
