001[Music] I call this meeting of the Conro ISD school board trustees in order. Uh the quorum is present and we will begin. And I apologize I didn't bring my full binder. Did I mention all of the things that we need for tonight? Thank you very much. Um all right. So um we will open our meeting this evening with the invocation led by Trusty Dawson followed by Trustee Semler leading us with the pledges. Dear Lord, we come before you tonight with a mixture of emotions. We are so proud of our students and staff who have worked so hard this year and see the finish line in sight. We eagerly await the opportunity to celebrate with our community the amazing graduates who will soon embark on new exciting adventures in adulthood. At the same time, we are
002saddened to hear that a pillar in our community and in Conroe ISD will be transitioning to a new opportunity. Lord, we want to thank you for using Dr. Null to lead and shepherd this district to new heights over the last few decades. We ask that you bless his steadfast efforts and give him favor in Lake Travis ISD. Dr. know you are loved and you will be missed deeply by this community. You leave big shoes to fill in and conorist. Change is hard Lord and we pray that you give peace and calm to this community as we embark on this transition. We ask that you give the board wisdom, strength, and clarity as we start the process of finding a successor. We ask that you fill our community with hope, that our best days are still
003up ahead, and that we will continue to strive for excellence, just as Dr. Null has done and others before him. In your name we pray. Amen. United States of America stands nation with liberty and justice for One state under God, one indivisible. Thank you ladies for your leadership this evening. Um before we get started, I'd like to acknowledge that Dr. Null is not with us today. He's had a long-standing speaking engagement that was scheduled many months ago and unfortunately it coincides with today's meeting. In scheduling this meeting, Dr. Null and I worked together and considered other possible dates and it was agreed upon that we would schedule the meeting tonight and not have further delay. I want to emphasize that his absence is simply due to a prior commitment and there should be no interpretation
004taken from it. He remains fully engaged and supportive of our work of the work we are doing here in Conro ISD. And now we will begin with public comments. Per board policy beed in Texas government code section 551.007. Any citizen who has signed up may address the board regarding only topics for items posted on today's agenda. If a citizen has signed up to speak on any matter other than tonight's posted agenda items, he or she is welcome to make comments to the board at the board's regular meeting on May 13th. When the board hears comments about both posted agenda items and non-aggenda items, each speaker will have two minutes to present their comments to the board. Screens around the room will display the speaker's time. When the countdown timer reaches zero, the next speaker will
005be called. Mrs. Godfrey, please call our first speaker, Patty Bosman. Thank you. Thank you very much, Mrs. Bosman. Mrs. Bosman, would you like me to add your name to the signups for May 13th? Okay. Okay. Thank you. Are there any other public speakers tonight? All right. That being said, we will move on to the next item on our agenda, which is item three, executive session. And the board will go into closed session pursuant to the Texas government code section 551.129 which allows a governmental body to consult with its attorney and a closed meeting by telephone conference call, video conference call, internet. Um it says attorney, but we we noticed also um any invited guests. Just want to make clear. Yes. When I reviewed it, I specifically put it also said 55 oh well here it
006says 551.074 which allows for design discussion of the appointment employment of evaluation reassignment of duties, discipline or dismissal of public officer or employee to hear complaints and it did say that we could also have other invited but we can't anyway by law. So, um, it the board will convene in executive session to discuss the search for a superintendent of schools and possible candidates to serve as interim superintendent. The time is 5:00 p.m. And I forgot to say our opening time was 5:36 and our opening time was 5:30 p.m. Sorry. Now to confirm that the time is 8:37 and the board is back from executive session and I will entertain a motion to adjurnn. So moved. Second. All right. The meeting stands in adjournment 8:37
