Buna ISD board approves delay of teacher certification waiver to continue district plan
Summary
At a Feb. 10 special meeting, the Buna ISD Board of Trustees voted 6-0 to delay a teacher certification waiver so the district can continue implementing its current plan to ensure teachers receive certification.
At a special meeting Feb. 10, 2026, the Buna Independent School District Board of Trustees approved a motion to delay a teacher certification waiver so the district could continue implementing its current plan to ensure teacher certification across the district.
Trustee Joey Broom moved that "the Board approve the delay in teacher certification waiver to allow the District to continue implementation of the current plan to ensure certification of teachers throughout the District." The motion was seconded by Trustee Sherri Hickerson and carried on a 6-0 vote (Gomez, DeLome, Broom, Hickerson, Bond, Talmadge).
Dr. Julie Motomura, the district superintendent, was present for the special meeting. Trustees did not record further conditions or a specified timetable for the delay in the minutes; the motion as recorded leaves next steps to continuing implementation of the district's plan. The board immediately moved into a scheduled workshop after adjourning the special meeting at 6:08 p.m.
The vote affects the district's temporary handling of teacher certification requirements while staff continue work under the existing plan. The minutes do not specify additional reporting requirements, deadlines, or the precise waiver authority being delayed.
