Liberty Hill ISD holds closed session interviews for superintendent applicants
Summary
During a Dec. 17 special meeting the Liberty Hill ISD board adjourned to closed session to consult with counsel and interview superintendent applicants; the session ran from 6:01 p.m. to 6:35 p.m., after which the board returned to name a lone finalist.
The Liberty Hill ISD Board of Trustees recessed into closed session at 6:01 p.m. on Dec. 17, 2025, citing the Texas Government Code provisions permitting attorney consultation and personnel interviews. The agenda text referenced Tex. Gov't Code §§551.071 and 551.074 and listed an interview of a superintendent applicant that included the applicant’s spouse and a general discussion of superintendent applicants.
Minutes show the board returned to open session at 6:35 p.m. Following that return, the board moved and approved a motion to name Travis Motal as the lone finalist for superintendent. No public speakers addressed the board during the meeting’s public comment period, according to the record.
The meeting record provides the statutory bases for the closed session but does not include details of the interviews or candidates’ statements in open session. The public record from this meeting does not show any final employment contract or a public vote on hiring beyond naming a lone finalist.
