The Alvin Independent School District Board of Trustees on May 13, 2026 approved the contract and employment of Dr. Rhonda Mason as superintendent of schools.
Trustee Roberson moved to approve the contract and employment; the motion was seconded and the board voted to approve the hire, with four votes in favor, one against and two abstentions. The board had announced Dr. Mason as the lone finalist on April 21, 2026, and the required 21‑day waiting period concluded on May 13, prompting the vote.
The approval followed routine board housekeeping earlier in the meeting, when a member noted that notice for the meeting had been posted in accordance with the Texas Open Meetings Act (Texas Government Code, ch. 551). After the vote the board adjourned; members then invited Dr. Mason to join trustees for photographs.
Dr. Rhonda Mason spoke briefly after the vote, thanked the board and supporters and introduced family members who attended. "This process was a beautiful process, very organized, very clear, and very professional," she said, adding, "Every morning I wake up and my feet hit the floor, and I thank God that I don't mind doing what I do for a living." She also thanked colleagues from Lamar Consolidated who had traveled to attend.
The board did not discuss contract financial terms or implementation timelines during the recorded portion of the meeting; those details were not specified in the transcript. The hiring is effective per the employment contract approved by the board.
The meeting adjourned following the vote; board members exchanged congratulations and took photos with Dr. Mason and her family.
