Summary
After a closed session, trustees approved several personnel recommendations including principals for Gowling and Noel elementary schools and the new executive director of accountability and school improvement; one hire listed in the transcript was not clearly identified.
The Ector County Independent School District board confirmed multiple personnel recommendations following a closed‑session deliberation at the June 17 meeting.
Why it matters: Principal and central-office leadership hires shape campus leadership and district accountability work for the coming school year.
At the meeting’s conclusion, the board voted to approve the following personnel recommendations read into the record: William Weekley as principal of Gowling Elementary School; Marcelo Macias as principal of Noel Elementary School; and Cheryl Wilson as Executive Director of Accountability and School Improvement. The transcript includes an additional recommendation for the principal of Blanton Elementary School; the name announced in the record is not clearly legible in the transcript and is therefore listed as not specified. Each recommendation was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.
Board members offered congratulations after the votes and asked whether any purchases or personnel items required further review; staff indicated personnel and purchasing items were in order.
What’s next: The new principals and executive director will assume their duties as assigned by the district, and staff will proceed with onboarding and operational updates as necessary.
