Celeste ISD agendas: superintendent interviews, Defender Program and a treasury bond

Celeste ISD trustees held four meetings in the past two weeks — special meetings on Oct. 12, 13 and 14, and a regular meeting on Oct. 19 — according to the agendas posted for those dates. Minutes for all four have not yet been published, so no votes, dollar amounts or outcomes are recorded in this report. What follows is what each agenda listed for discussion or possible action.

Superintendent search

All three special meetings — Oct. 12, Oct. 13 and Oct. 14 — listed a single item: a closed session to interview superintendent candidates. Closed sessions are not open to the public. The agendas do not name the candidates, do not say how many people were interviewed, and list no action item for those dates.

Regular meeting, Oct. 19

The regular meeting agenda listed the following items, several of them written as approvals:

Because minutes are not yet available, whether the board approved, tabled or took no action on any of these items is not established by the records available. The agenda does not include dollar figures for the extra duty pay item or for the budget amendments, and it does not describe what the Defender Program entails beyond the 2026-2027 school year designation.

Coming up

Three special meetings are scheduled over the next three days. All three include closed-session interviews for the superintendent position; the open portions are the parts the public can attend.

What is not yet known

Four sets of minutes — for Oct. 12, 13, 14 and 19 — remain unpublished, so the record of what the board actually did at those meetings is incomplete. Missing minutes are not evidence that no action was taken. Residents seeking a definitive account should check the district's posted minutes once they are available; the official agenda and minute documents are the authoritative record.

Celeste ISD interviews superintendent candidates in closed session; regular meeting Oct. 19 to weigh Defender Program and extra duty pay

Celeste ISD trustees met four times in the past two weeks, all in special sessions tied to the district's superintendent search, and all behind closed doors. Agendas for the Oct. 5, Oct. 12, Oct. 13 and Oct. 14 meetings list no contracts, dollar amounts or policy changes, and no minutes have been published for any of them. The record available so far does not show who was interviewed or whether the board took any action. The board's next scheduled meeting is a regular session on Monday, Oct. 19, with agenda items that include the Defender Program for the 2026-2027 school year and extra duty pay.

Superintendent search: four special meetings, no published outcomes

The Oct. 5 special meeting agenda was largely procedural — call to order, declaration of quorum, invocation and public comments — with one substantive item listed under Personnel: a closed session to select candidates to interview. The meetings on Oct. 12, Oct. 13 and Oct. 14 each carried a single listed item: a closed session to interview superintendent candidates.

Closed session items are not open to the public, and the summaries provided list no action taken in open session afterward. Because minutes for all four meetings are still unpublished, the district has not yet documented in the public record who the candidates were, how many were interviewed, or whether the board narrowed the field. The absence of published minutes is not evidence that nothing was decided.

What the agendas do and do not establish

Across the four special meetings, the available agendas show no votes recorded, no contract awarded, no salary figure and no budget number. Anyone seeking details of the superintendent search will need the minutes once they are posted.

On today's agenda: Defender Program, extra duty pay, budget amendments

The Oct. 19 regular meeting agenda lists the following items:

These are agenda items scheduled for consideration, not decisions already made. The agenda summary does not describe what the Defender Program entails, what the extra duty pay item covers, or what the budget amendments would change, and it lists no dollar amounts. Those details would come from the meeting itself and any minutes or supporting documents published afterward.

Coming up

Monday, Oct. 19 — Regular Meeting, Celeste ISD board. The only meeting on the district's upcoming list. Items scheduled for possible action include the Defender Program for 2026-2027 and extra duty pay, along with budget amendments. The Quarterly Investment Report review and an Ag Issues presentation are also listed. Residents can attend to hear the discussion in open session; the superintendent search items from the prior two weeks were handled in closed session and are not on this agenda as listed.

No other Celeste ISD meetings appear on the upcoming schedule provided. Meeting times and locations were not included in the summaries; check the district's posted agenda for the confirmed start time and any changes.

Week of 2026-10-12

Celeste ISD board continues superintendent search; no minutes yet published

Celeste ISD trustees have held three special meetings in the past two weeks, all centered on hiring a superintendent, according to district agendas. None of those meetings has published minutes, so the public record does not show what the board decided, whether candidates were selected, or whether any vote was taken.

What the agendas list

The Sept. 29 special meeting agenda included routine items — call to order, declaration of quorum, invocation and public comments — followed by a closed session to discuss superintendent candidate applications. The summary states the meeting was expected to adjourn after the closed session.

The Oct. 5 special meeting, scheduled for 6:00 PM, was mostly procedural. Its one substantive item appeared under Personnel: a closed session to select candidates to interview. Public comments and audience participation were also on that agenda. The summary notes no contracts, dollar amounts or policy changes were listed.

The Oct. 12 special meeting listed a closed session to interview superintendent candidates.

No decisions documented

All three meetings are recorded in the available material as "agenda only (minutes not yet published)." That means the district's published record does not establish that the board selected candidates, conducted interviews, or reached any outcome. The agendas describe what was scheduled to be discussed in closed session; they do not describe results.

Missing minutes are not evidence that nothing happened. They mean the outcome is not yet documented in the material available for review.

No money or policy items

None of the three agendas list contracts, dollar amounts, or policy changes. The only substantive items were personnel matters listed for closed session. No dollar figures appear anywhere in the records provided.

Coming up

Two more special meetings are scheduled in the next two weeks, both with the same listed purpose:

The summaries for these two upcoming meetings list only the closed-session interview item. Public comment was listed on the Oct. 5 agenda; the summaries provided for the Oct. 13 and Oct. 14 meetings do not list public comment or other open-session items.

Residents who want to follow the superintendent search can check the district's published agendas and minutes for the open portions of these meetings and for minutes from the Sept. 29, Oct. 5 and Oct. 12 sessions once they are posted. The Celeste ISD Board of Trustees is the body named in all of the records summarized here.

Week of 2026-08-10

Celeste ISD board records no decisions in recent meetings; special session set for Aug. 13

The Celeste Independent School District board of trustees held three meetings in the past two weeks, but none produced recorded votes or decisions. The board is scheduled to meet again Aug. 13 to consider signing a contract with a superintendent search firm.

Recent meetings

July 30 – Special Called Meeting

The agenda for this meeting listed acceptance of Mike Curry's resignation and the process for filling a school board vacancy. No minutes or action items were provided, so no decisions are recorded.

Aug. 3 – Regular Meeting

The minutes for this meeting contain only the agenda items. No votes, decisions, or outcomes are recorded for any of the items discussed.

Aug. 6 – Special Called Meeting (Cancelled)

This meeting was cancelled. Its agenda had included possible action to appoint a person to the Board of Trustees, possible action to swear in a newly appointed trustee, and discussion and possible signing of a contract with a superintendent search firm. Because the meeting was cancelled, none of these actions occurred.

Upcoming meeting

Aug. 13 – Special Meeting

The board will hold a special meeting to discuss the superintendent transition with a search firm in closed session, followed by a vote to sign a contract with the firm. The agenda also includes routine items such as call to order, quorum, invocation, and public comments. No other details are available.
