Summary
After an executive session citing personnel and legal consults, the Garland ISD Board voted unanimously to approve the termination of two Chapter 21 contracts: LaNola Riles (term contract) and Shamond Hamilton (probationary dual contract). Votes were recorded 6-0 with one trustee absent.
The Garland Independent School District Board of Trustees voted Oct. 28 to approve two contract terminations after meeting in executive session. On motions by Trustee James Miller, seconded by Trustee Wesley Johnson, the board approved the proposed termination of the Chapter 21 term contract of LaNola Riles and the probationary Chapter 21 dual contract of Shamond Hamilton.
President Johnny Beach said the board moved into executive session at 5:57 p.m. under the Texas Open Meetings Act to consider matters permitted by Texas Government Code Chapter 551, including consultation with the board's attorney and deliberations regarding personnel. The board reconvened in open session at 6:50 p.m., and Beach certified that the board discussed only matters permitted by law.
Both termination motions passed by recorded unanimous votes (6-0), with Trustee Linda Griffin noted as absent from the meeting. The board's minutes list the votes as: Mr. Beach—Aye; Mr. Johnson—Aye; Mr. Selders—Aye; Mr. Miller—Aye; Mr. Glick—Aye; Mrs. Stanley—Aye. The minutes do not provide additional details about the personnel matters or the board's deliberations conducted in executive session.
The actions conclude with the meeting adjourning at 6:52 p.m. The board's official minutes note that legal consultations during the executive session referenced Texas Government Code Sections 551.071, 551.074 and 551.076.
