Colorado ISD board moves to closed session for superintendent evaluation, legal consultation
Summary
At a Dec. 8 special meeting, the Colorado ISD Board of Trustees entered closed session under Texas Government Code Chapter 551 to discuss the superintendent evaluation, consult with the board attorney, and consider a superintendent contract; the board later reconvened without disclosing specifics.
Emily Strain, chair of the Colorado ISD Board of Trustees, called a special meeting to order at 4:36 p.m. on Dec. 8 in the C.E. "Buddy" Compton Board Room in Colorado City. The board immediately announced it would adjourn into closed session under Chapter 551 of the Texas Government Code.
The agenda listed multiple statutory bases for closed deliberation, including private consultation with the board's attorney (551.071), deliberation about the purchase, exchange or value of real property (551.072), discussion of negotiated contracts or prospective gifts (551.073), and personnel matters including appointment or evaluation (551.074). Item 2.A specifically identified a discussion of the superintendent evaluation; items 2.B and 2.C listed consultation with the attorney and the superintendent contract. The board recorded that it convened into closed session at 4:37 p.m.
Under Texas law, many topics listed on the agenda may be discussed in closed session and do not require public disclosure of deliberations. The district did not provide additional public details about what was discussed in closed session when it reconvened later in the meeting.
