Collinsville ISD meeting summaries, agendas, and minutes

Collinsville ISD records show no votes on superintendent search; playground and bus purchases on today's agenda

The Collinsville ISD Board of Trustees met in special session on four dates in the past two weeks — Oct. 5, 6, 7 and 14 — and the meeting records provided contain no final votes or decisions on any item, including the superintendent search.

That absence reflects what the minutes record, not a finding that nothing happened. The summaries state that no votes or actions were recorded following the discussions. Some entries in the records appear to be duplicate listings of the same meetings, so the number of distinct sessions may be smaller than the number of entries.

Superintendent search draws repeated sessions

Every special meeting in the two-week window centered on the superintendent search and selection process. On Oct. 14, the board met in executive session under Texas Government Code Section 551.074, which covers personnel matters involving public officers or employees, and also in executive session on the superintendent search and selection process. The Oct. 5, 6 and 7 meetings likewise involved closed-session deliberation on the search, according to the records.

Executive session is a closed portion of a meeting; deliberation there does not itself constitute a decision. The records provided do not show the board naming a finalist, setting a timeline, or taking a vote on the search.

Bus 9 repair or replacement discussed

At the Oct. 5 special meeting, the board also discussed repair or replacement of Bus 9, according to the record. No vote or specific action on the bus was recorded in the minutes provided.

Coming up

Oct. 19 — Regular Meeting. Agenda items include purchase and construction of the Elementary Playground and purchase of a new bus, both listed as approval items. The board is also scheduled to consider approval of book titles for the CISD Library System, District and Campus Improvement Plans, and the Finance Report for Fiscal Year 2025-2026. A presentation from the Grayson County Special Education Co-op is on the agenda, and an executive session is scheduled.

Oct. 21 — Special Meeting. The board will meet in executive session to deliberate on the appointment and selection of a public officer, then reconvene in open session for possible action regarding the superintendent search process. This is the next point at which the board could act publicly on the search.

Oct. 26 — Special Meeting, listed as cancelled. The record marks this meeting as cancelled. The agenda items listed with it — executive session on the superintendent search and possible action on the search process — are therefore not expected to be taken up on that date. Readers should check with the district for any rescheduling.

All items above are drawn from the agendas and minutes as provided. Agendas can change, and the district's posted notices are the authoritative record.

Collinsville ISD trustees met five times in three days on superintendent search; no minutes published yet

Collinsville ISD trustees held five special meetings between October 5 and October 7, 2026, according to agendas supplied for those dates. Four of the five agendas list the superintendent search and selection process as the only business. The October 5 meeting at 5:30 PM also listed a possible vote on repairing Bus 9 and/or purchasing a new bus.

All five of those meetings are recorded as agenda only, with minutes not yet published. That means no outcome, vote tally, or dollar amount from them can be confirmed from the available record. The absence of minutes is not evidence that the board took no action.

Superintendent search dominates the week

The agendas for the five recent special meetings describe the same two-step sequence:

• A closed executive session under Texas Government Code Section 551.074 to deliberate the superintendent search and selection process.
• Reconvening in open session to consider and possibly take action on that process.

The meetings as listed were:

• October 5, 5:30 PM — closed session on the search, open-session consideration, and a public forum for resident comments.
• October 5, 8:00 PM — closed session on the search and open-session consideration. No other business listed.
• October 6, 6:00 PM — closed session on the search and open-session consideration. No other business listed.
• October 6, 8:00 PM — closed session on the search and open-session consideration. No other business listed.
• October 7, 6:00 PM — closed session on the search and open-session consideration. No other business listed.

The agendas do not name candidates, a search firm, a timeline, or a salary figure. None of that information appears in the supplied records.

Bus 9 repair or replacement also on the October 5 agenda

The October 5, 5:30 PM agenda included an action item to discuss and consider approval of repairing Bus 9 and/or purchasing a new bus. The record does not include a repair estimate, a purchase price, a vendor, a bus model, or a funding source. Whether the board voted on the item, and what it decided, is not established by the material available.

What the record does and does not show

What is established: the dates, times, and bodies that met, and the agenda items listed for each.

What is not established: any decision, vote count, dollar amount, contract, hire, or timeline. Every recent meeting in the supplied data is marked "agenda only (minutes not yet published)." Residents who want the outcomes will need the approved minutes once the district posts them.

Coming up

One upcoming meeting appears in the supplied schedule:

• October 14, 2026 — Special Meeting. The agenda lists an executive session regarding the appointment, employment, evaluation, reassignment, duties, discipline, or dismissal of a public officer or employee, followed by discussion and possible action regarding the Superintendent Search Process.

That item is listed as an upcoming agenda. As with the earlier meetings, no outcome is known in advance, and the agenda does not indicate which personnel matter is involved or whether a vote will be taken.
