Rice ISD approves non‑Chapter 21 contracts and authorizes assistant principal hire
Summary
Following closed session the Rice ISD board voted to approve non‑Chapter 21 contracts and granted the superintendent authority to hire an assistant principal for the Rice IMS campus; both actions were recorded as passing 6–0 with one absence.
After a closed session that the minutes say addressed personnel and contracts under Texas Government Code, the Rice ISD board voted in open session to approve non‑Chapter 21 contracts as presented by the superintendent.
The minutes record the same motion twice: once during the closed-session record and again upon reconvening at 6:56 p.m., with the roll‑call vote recorded as six yeas, zero nays and one absence. The board also voted to give the superintendent authority to hire an assistant principal for the Rice IMS campus; that motion likewise passed on a recorded roll call.
The meeting packet and minutes identify the legal bases for closed session as Texas Gov't Code §551.074 (personnel) and §551.089 (security), though the minutes do not publish the personnel discussion or the names of candidates discussed. The public minutes therefore record the board's formal approvals without publishing deliberative details from the closed session.
