Ector ISD trustees unanimously name Morganne Mandrell lone finalist for superintendent

The Ector ISD Board of Trustees voted unanimously on Feb. 21 to name Morganne Mandrell the lone finalist for the district's superintendent position. Trustee Cody Vest made the motion, and Trustee Bobby Brownfield seconded; the board recorded seven yea votes and no nays.

The motion was entered into the minutes as: "To name Morganne Mandrell as the Lone Finalist for the position of Superintendent at Ector ISD." The vote followed an executive session listed on the agenda for superintendent candidate interviews. With the naming of a lone finalist, state law typically requires a brief public posting period before a final contract is executed; the board later granted authority to the board president to negotiate the final contract during the same meeting. The meeting took place at the Administration Building, 301 S. Main, Ector, TX.
