BELL EXPECTED TO RESIGN TONIGHT

  

Sam Bell, the superintendent of the Brenham Independent School District, will apparently tender his resignation tonight when the School Board meets at 6:00.

The district issued an agenda late Friday afternoon for Monday’s meeting.  Then about a half-hour later the district issued an amended agenda that includes a public hearing and public comment on the superintendent’s resignation agreement.

The hearing and comment will be followed by an executive session and board action on the resignation.

Bell has been the superintendent since April of 2009 when he succeeded David Yeager, and his current contract runs through July of 2016.

Recently, though, Bell has become embroiled in conflicts with several board members who have made critical comments in public session over Bell’s performance.

Recently emails from several board members, extremely critical of Bell and members of the BISD administration, came to light after an open records request.

The board will meet tonight at 6:00 at the Brenham High School.
