The Fredericksburg Independent School District Board of Trustees met in a special session on Monday, Jan. 19, 2026, and scheduled a closed session under the Texas Open Meetings Act to discuss the superintendent search.
Board President Matt Seidenberger was listed as the meeting presenter, and attendance was taken at 5:36 p.m. The minutes list Judge Edwards, Keri Hensley, Rusty Jenschke, Brian Lehne, Gayle Schoessow, Matt Seidenberger and Taylor Ward as present. Taylor Ward is listed as the board secretary.
The published agenda identified Item 4 as a closed session to be held pursuant to Texas Government Code, Chapter 551, section 551.074 (Personnel Matters) with the stated subject “Discussion of Superintendent Search.” The agenda also said the board would reconvene in open session to consider action on any items from the closed session and then adjourn.
The two-page meeting record supplied here lists the location as FISD Central Administration at 110 W. Travis St., Fredericksburg, and does not record any motions, votes, or public outcomes arising from the closed session. The minutes therefore do not indicate whether the board took formal action after reconvening.
The agenda item naming a closed session under §551.074 is a standard procedural step for personnel matters, including superintendent searches, and shields deliberations from the public record while allowing any formal action to be taken in open session if required. The minutes provided do not include additional detail on next steps or a timeline for decisions.
