Summary
Keller Independent School District trustees held a special meeting Nov. 13, 2024, then entered an executive session citing Texas Government Code exemptions for attorney consultation, personnel and security deliberations to conduct a "Team of Eight" board training; the board reconvened and adjourned at 6:30 PM.
The Keller Independent School District Board of Trustees convened a special meeting on Wednesday, Nov. 13, 2024, beginning at 3:00 PM at The Education Center in Keller. Members present were Dr. Charles Randklev (President), John Birt, Joni Shaw Smith (Secretary), Micah Young, Chris Coker, Heather Washington and Chelsea Kelly; Superintendent Dr. Tracy Johnson was also present.
The agenda notes that the board "may call" an executive session under the Texas Open Meetings Act, referencing Texas Government Code Sections 551.001–551.146 and specifically section 551.071 (consultation with attorney), section 551.074 (personnel matters), and section 551.076 (deliberation regarding security devices). The minutes list "A. Team of Eight Board Training" as the executive-session item; the record does not include details of the closed-session discussion.
An individual identified in the minutes, Stewart Rennie, addressed the board during the audience-with-individuals portion; the transcript records that he spoke but does not include the substance of his remarks. The board reconvened into open session at 6:29 PM and then moved to adjourn.
"Mr. Young moved, seconded by Ms. Washington, to adjourn the meeting at 6:30 PM. Motion carried 7/0," the minutes record.
The minutes show no other formal business or votes recorded in open session. The board's closed executive session and the listed statutory citations indicate the discussion was held under exemptions that permit confidentiality under state law.
