The board authorized district staff to begin negotiations with Sam Jackson of the Spencer Feain Law Firm to serve as the board attorney effective Sept. 1, 2026.
The selection followed an RFQ and interviews with two applicants; the chair moved to extend an offer and the board voted 12‑0 to begin negotiations. Before that vote trustees thanked outgoing board members—Dan Cash (District 2), Josh Brown (District 4), Jay Galbreth (District 6), Eric Welch (District 10) and Jason Beasley (joining virtually)—and Dr. Webb presented each with a plaque recognizing years of service.
Several departing trustees offered reflective remarks on their years of service and encouraged continued focus on student outcomes; no compensation or contract terms for the new attorney were finalized at the meeting.
