Superintendent Contract Vote Lacks Public Document
📅 November 16, 2026
The board plans to approve an employment contract for the new Superintendent, Dr. Benjamin Grijalva, after a closed-door discussion. The proposed contract, a significant multi-year financial commitment, has not been attached to the public agenda, preventing taxpayers from reviewing the salary, benefits, and potential buyout clauses before the vote.
Response

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Runge ISD board (see the Official Agenda link for contact details) and demand: ‘Please publish the full proposed employment contract for public review before any vote is taken on Item IV.A. Taxpayers deserve to see the terms before you approve them.’

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Salary & Buyout Terms
