The WEST ORANGE-COVE CISD Board of Trustees voted 4-0 on Oct. 15, 2025, to give Rolanda Holifield the same pay increase that other district employees received while denying the additional relief she sought in a Level Four DGBA grievance. Board President LaTricia Stroud moved the meeting into closed session before the vote; "Do we have a motion to go into closed session?" she asked during the public record of the meeting.
The board listed closed-session purposes under code sections 551.074 (personnel) and 551.071 (legal advice) and returned to open session at 6:30 p.m. to announce the outcome. The motion — moved by Gina Yeaman and seconded by Tommy Wilson Sr. — instructed administration to provide Holifield the same pay raise given district employees and to deny other requests; the minutes record the vote as 4 in favor, 0 opposed, 0 abstentions. The record does not specify the dollar amount or percentage of the pay raise.
