Edcouch-Elsa ISD trustees approve consent agenda, authorize closed session on personnel and adjourn

At a March 13 workshop in Edcouch, trustees of the Edcouch-Elsa Independent School District approved all consent agenda items and authorized a closed executive session under Texas Government Code §551.074 to discuss personnel matters.

The chair moved to approve the consent agenda. A motion "made by Mister Lozano, seconded by Doctor Wachoa" (as recorded in the transcript) carried after trustees answered "aye" when called. The consent items recorded by the chair include approval of the targeted improvement plan for Ruben C. Rodriguez STEM Academy and the appointment of TTESS appraiser Jessica Mott.

Later the superintendent requested that trustees convene in closed session as authorized by the Texas Open Meetings Act and Texas Government Code §551.074 regarding personnel matters including appointment, employment, resignation, retirement, evaluation, reassignment, duties, discipline, or dismissal. A motion to enter executive session was recorded as made by "Mister Lozano, seconded by Doctor Ochoa" and carried; the transcript notes there was no action under item b. The meeting was later adjourned; the transcript records a motion to adjourn, a second, and the chair announcing the meeting adjourned at 6:02 p.m.

The transcript contains transcription errors in some recorded names and titles; all action descriptions above follow the words as spoken in the meeting record without introducing additional facts.
