Surprising many in the room, Princeton ISD trustees voted Jan. 26 to hire their own attorney, separate from the district’s law firm, Abernathy, Roeder, Boyd & Hullett in McKinney. 

After an hour-long discussion, the board voted 5-2 to hire Timothy Davis of the Cantey Hanger law firm’s Dallas office. 

Davis appeared at the end of a long board meeting with the agenda item reading “Discuss and Consider Hiring a Board Attorney.” There was no information about Davis in the meeting packet given trustees said Amy Ivy, administrative assistant to Superintendent Don McIntyre.
