LORENA ISD board holds closed-session interviews for superintendent candidate

Denny Kramer, president, called the Lorena ISD special called meeting to order at 6:30 p.m. on April 14, 2026 at Lorena High School. "The meeting was called to order at 6:30 PM by Denny Kramer," the public minutes state.

The board entered executive session under Texas Government Code Section 551.074 to interview a superintendent applicant and the applicant's spouse; the public minutes record the session beginning at 6:31 p.m. and ending at 10:22 p.m. Because the discussion occurred in a closed session authorized by state law, the minutes do not disclose the substance of the interviews or any personnel deliberations. The public record does not show any formal vote or hiring decision taken at the April 14 meeting.

The agenda also notes an opening prayer led by Tyler Stewart and a visitor-comments period limited to agenda items; the minutes do not include details of any speakers during public comment. The meeting was adjourned at 10:23 p.m.

The minutes document lists seven board members present: Corbett Boone, Russ Johnson, Jason Lavender, Tyler Stewart, Kevin Taylor, Mary Timmons and Denny Kramer. The minutes further note that meeting minutes were later approved on April 27, 2026, signed by Denny Kramer, President, and Mary Timmons, Secretary. No subsequent public action related to the superintendent search is recorded in these minutes.
