Summary
Following an executive session, trustees voted 6–1 to change Jeanne Venecia's title from Acting Superintendent to Interim Superintendent; Trustee Nancy Vallejo voted against the title change.
After a closed executive session, the Mercedes ISD board considered administrative personnel items and moved in open session to change Jeanne Venecia's title from Acting Superintendent to Interim Superintendent. President Marcos Garcia and several trustees praised Venecia's performance: "Mrs. Venecia was everything they had hoped for in someone to lead our district," President Garcia said while supporting the motion.
Trustee Nancy Vallejo opposed changing the title, saying she did not believe the action would move the district forward; Trustee Oscar Hernandez spoke in support and described Venecia as "doing a fantastic job." The motion to change Venecia's title passed 6–1. The minutes record that Item A-1 (not further described in the minutes) was also approved in open session after executive session; Items B and C received no action.
The title change is an administrative personnel action recorded in the minutes; the board did not record any change in compensation or additional terms in the public minutes.
