The details
The specially called meeting will be held at 6 p.m. Dec. 17 at the district’s Board, Business & Technology Center, located at 20200 Eastway Village Drive, Humble.
How we got here
The meeting is coming roughly three weeks after trustees voted 6-1 in favor of formally terminating Fagen’s contract. In May, trustees voted 4-2 in favor of placing Fagen on paid administrative leave before voting 4-3 in July to propose the termination of her contract.
Fagen initially appealed the board’s decision to the Texas Education Agency, which resulted in a three-day hearing held on Oct. 31, Nov. 1 and Nov. 6. While her initial appeal was unsuccessful, Fagen said she will now appeal the matter directly to TEA Commissioner Mike Morath.
Deputy Superintendent Roger Brown has been serving as acting superintendent since Fagen was placed on paid leave.
What’s next
HISD Chief Communications Officer Jamie Mount said the board will need to wait at least 21 days after naming a finalist before trustees can vote to formally appoint a new superintendent.
