CAMERON ISD ACCEPTS RESIGNATION OF SUPERINTENDENT

(CAMERON) In a Marathon called session of the Cameron School Board last night, trustees voted to accept the resignation of Superintendent Doug Koebernick, however provisions of the agreement have yet to be released. The board met at 7 p.m. Thursday, and immediately retired into a 6-hour closed session before convening back in to open session around 1 o’clock this morning to accept the agreement. Board President Gene Vaculin said he has called another special meeting for Monday, August 6th, to sign the agreement and appoint an interim superintendent. Vaculin said until the agreement is signed, provisions are not being disclosed. Vaculin stressed that an interim Superintendent will be appointed by the board at Monday’s called meeting, and school will begin Tuesday with a superintendent in place.

Last week, the board met in a special session and placed on retainer, the Austin law firm of Walsh, Anderson, Brown, Schulze & Aldridge. Shellie Hoffman Crow of the law firm met with the board in Thursday’s closed session.

Koebernick was hired 2 years ago to replace Ronnie Kincaid who resigned to accept the Lampasas ISD superintendent position. Koebernick’s 3 year contract is up at the end of the 2001-2002 school year. During a 2 hour and 10 minute executive session last week, trustees evaluated Koebernick’s performance and contract. However, following the closed session, no action was taken, and no comment was offered by the board.
