Following an executive session, the Merkel ISD Board of Trustees voted unanimously to extend Kelly West's contract so West will continue serving as the district's interim superintendent until a successor is named.
"I move to extend the contract for Kelly West to continue Superintendent's Contract, as the Interim Superintendent until a new Superintendent is named," Trustee Kerry Fryar said. The motion, seconded by Brit Pursley, passed without dissent.
