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. Let's make it happen. Yeah, welcome home.

About the underlying data (7 notes)
- The transcript on this page was produced automatically by speech recognition. No person has checked it against the recording. It is a way to find a passage, not a quotation.
- No speaker on this recording is identified. The transcript separates one voice from another but does not name them, and every turn therefore reads Unknown speaker.
- The speaker turn timeline is not continuous. There are intervals with no attributed turn, so a gap between two turns is not evidence that nothing was said.
- The district’s video index for this meeting carries no timestamps, so the recording is presented here as a single section rather than divided into agenda items.
- The district publishes this recording as 3 separate files rather than one. The player on this page plays the first file; the later parts are on the district’s own player, linked above. Transcript times run continuously across the whole recording, so a time past the end of the first file will not play here.
- The recording is played here from the district’s own stream. The archive does not hold or serve a copy of the video.
- No speaker on this page is named. The automated attribution available for this recording was derived from names spoken aloud in the transcript, and a surname inside a turn is not evidence of who is speaking. Every speaker is therefore left unresolved.
