Items 1 & 3
Katy Independent School District to order. Today is Friday, July 1, 2016 and
the time is 6 o'clock p.m. Noting that a quorum is present, the board will now
convene in open meeting. Mr. Gannell, Chief Operations Officer, will you verify
that we are in compliance with the provisions of the Texas Open Meetings
Law in regard to the notice for this meeting? Madam President, we are in compliance.
We do not have a need for closed meeting this evening, so Board members, I would direct
Item 5.1
your attention to action item number five.
Turn to the back.
Yes.
Madam President.
Mr. DeBruyne.
I move that the Board of Trustees employs Dr. Lance Hint as the Superintendent of Schools
and authorizes the appropriate Board officers to execute the contract as presented on behalf
of the district. Second. I have a motion by Mr. DeBrell, second by Mrs. Doyle that
the Board of Trustees employs Dr. Lance Hint as the superintendent of schools
and authorizes the appropriate board officers to execute the contract as
presented on behalf of the district. Any discussion? I would like to say that
today is a very happy day for KDISD. It's been a long process and a thorough
process that we went through to find the absolute perfect person to lead KDISD
into our future and Dr. Hint it's an honor that you said yes we're happy to
have you here to welcome you home to Katy and we look forward to all the
wonderful things that are going to happen in the future and while we're a
little bit of a light crowd this evening so many because it's July 4th at July
weekend several board members are out of town and out of the country and they all
wanted me to express to you their delight and affirmation of the decision
to have you come here and we're looking forward to you joining us on August 1st
anyone else
nation to the board or allowing me to participate when I wasn't even on the
board I think it was very important for me to get insight into you I I want to
say that you were my first and only choice. That's literally true. When you walked out
that day and you said if you want to call off the rest of the interviews, I already
knew who I wanted. I didn't have a vote, but I knew who I wanted to be superintendent.
I think you're going to be a great leader for the community. I think you're going to
be what the community needs. And we'll just leave it at that. I'm looking forward to it.
Madam President, since we're all sharing, I want to say that every candidate that we
interviewed had the skill set to do this job.
But Dr. Hint, you had the character that our community needs right now, and that's what
sold me.
We all had the skill set, which made it a very difficult decision, but none had the
character the background and really through this process i've not heard one negative word
i have a lot of friends in fort ben and um a lot of people that are happy you're coming home over
there in fact i think we probably can glean some employees from there we might not want to say that
yeah but uh welcome home we're so excited that you're going to be part of this district and uh
And just looking forward to working with you.
Since everyone else has had a few words, just welcome.
And actually I just want to say let's get to the vote.

Yeah, welcome home.
