MPISD safety committee holds closed session under state security statute
Summary
The Mount Pleasant Independent School District Safety and Security Committee convened April 16, 2026, moved into an executive session citing Texas Government Code Section 551.076 to discuss security matters, then reconvened and adjourned without public action or votes recorded in the minutes.
The Mount Pleasant Independent School District Safety and Security Committee met Thursday, April 16, 2026. Committee Chairman Hayes A. Lesher determined there was a quorum and called the meeting to order at 11:30 a.m., and the minutes show the committee adjourned into executive session at 11:31 a.m. under the Texas Open Meetings Act.
According to the publicly filed minutes, "the committee discussed matters pertaining to Section 551.076." The minutes do not disclose substantive details of the closed-session discussion; Texas Government Code Section 551.076 authorizes closed deliberations about security devices or security audits. The committee reconvened in open session at 12:28 p.m., and Chairman Lesher adjourned the meeting at 12:28 p.m. The public minutes list attendees and committee members but record no votes, motions that resulted in publicly recorded action, or staff directions in open session.
Because the substantive discussion occurred in a closed executive session, the public record in these minutes contains limited detail about the security matters discussed. The record does show the meeting was publicly noticed in accordance with the Texas Open Meetings Act. Further information about any operational or policy outcomes, or follow-up items, would depend on subsequent publicly posted minutes or staff reports.
