After recessing into closed session under the Texas Open Meetings Act, the Houston ISD Board of Managers returned to open session at 10:02 p.m. and recorded votes to effect personnel actions discussed in closed session.

The board voted to approve a broad personnel package read into the record that included proposed terminations, nonrenewals of contracts (continuing-term, performance and probationary), suspensions without pay, findings of no good cause for educators to resign or abandon employment without district consent, voiding of some contracts, withdrawals of contract recommendations, and issuance of final orders on contract terminations and nonrenewals. The motion set an effective date of Oct. 10, 2025, and authorized the superintendent to give notice of the approved actions pursuant to HISD board policy and state law.

Following that motion, the board voted separately to terminate the term contract of Michelle Williams and authorized the superintendent to give notice of the termination on the terms discussed in closed session. The transcript records the motion and a second; the public record does not show the names of the individual movers or the roll-call vote in the audio record.

The board chair read the required training-status announcement for trustees and adjourned after noting the next regular meeting date.

Ending: The board indicated staff would effectuate the approved personnel actions and provide appropriate notices consistent with district policy and state law.
