Angleton ISD board approves interviewing seven superintendent applicants

The Angleton Independent School District Board of Education voted March 18 to interview seven applicants for its superintendent search after an executive session that included a review of applications with the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB).

Trustee Justin Journeay moved and Trustee Michael Sillavan seconded to approve seven applicants to interview; the motion "carried unanimously," the minutes state. The board reconvened in open session at 8:57 p.m. and adjourned at 9:01 p.m.

The action follows the board's earlier executive session, during which trustees and TASB representatives reviewed superintendent applications. The board did not specify the names of the applicants in the open minutes. The motion specifies the number of candidates to be interviewed but does not record individual roll-call votes, only that the motion was carried unanimously.

Next steps in the search—such as interview schedules, interview panel composition, or public involvement—were not recorded in the open minutes. The board listed its president, vice president and secretary in the meeting attendance; Hanna Chalmers, director of communications, and TASB representatives George Kazanas and Cody Newcomb were present during the meeting.
