CFO Brenda Mize reported the district’s general fund revenues were approximately $102 million with expenditures at about $103 million for fiscal 2024–25 through May. Food service revenues and expenditures were roughly $6.9 million and $6.6 million, respectively. Capital projects (oil and gas revenues) show a beginning fund balance of about $14.6 million and May expenditures that include the Mound project. Mize said the district recorded bond‑related fees and payments in May and noted that most capital and special revenue spending will continue through September.

Nut graf: The board also approved two requisitions exceeding $25,000 that were presented at the meeting. District staff noted capital work at Mound and other construction‑phase payments were reflected in the report.

Requisitions and approvals: The board approved requisitions over $25,000 for the vendors listed in the packet, including Sky Ranch and College Park. A motion to approve requisitions over $25,000 passed by board vote.

Construction updates and grants: Mize reported that the clinic project is nearly complete and that the district continues to make scheduled payments. The Mound gym project was also discussed. Staff said the Texas Health Resources (THR) facility noted in the meeting is beginning to move in equipment and prepare for an opening.

Ending: Trustees voted to accept the May financials and approved the requested requisitions. Finance staff will return with further month‑end reports and project updates ahead of the August meeting and the start of school.

Steve Logan briefed the board on the status of multiple projects, saying the district is “upgrading the security camera systems at all of our elementary campuses to match the cloud managed systems already in place at our secondary schools. The cabling for these new cameras has been completed at all the elementary locations.” Logan also told the board vaping detection sensors are now installed and configured in all secondary campus restrooms.

Nut graf: The district presented both near-term technology upgrades and a detailed after‑action account of a June simulation that involved more than 100 people from the district and city partners. Staff said next steps include submitting an updated emergency operations plan (EOP) to the Texas School Safety Center in September and addressing logistical bottlenecks identified in the exercise.

What staff reported: Logan said the district’s maintenance and technology teams completed a biannual audit of exterior door hardware, Knox boxes, perimeter gates and 911 dispatch location verification. He told the board the updated EOP will be submitted to the Texas School Safety Center in the September submission window.

Active‑threat and reunification exercise: Scott Shehe served as the point person for a June simulation that used Plainskill Elementary as the scenario site and moved students to the high school multipurpose facility for reunification. The exercise included city police, fire and ambulance personnel, public safety dispatch, Texas Department of Emergency Management staff, volunteers and roughly 119 BISD employees who played roles or supported operations, district staff said.

Logan and other staff described how participating agencies set up a mock emergency operations center, used live camera feeds for situational awareness and followed the “standard reunification method” developed by the I Love You Guys Foundation (a method also adopted by the Texas School Safety Center). After the exercise, staff convened debriefs and said they will increase staffing at reunification stations and complete other follow‑up tasks identified in the after‑action review.

Ending: District staff said the security upgrades will be operational before the first day of school except where construction may delay work at a particular campus. Staff will return with further updates and to report on implementation of the debrief recommendations.

Note: Quotations come from the district’s July 28 meeting; all technical and project details were presented by district safety and facilities staff and are subject to follow‑up reports at future board meetings.","District staff reported upgrades to campus security systems, installation of vaping sensors at secondary schools, and completion of a large active‑threat/reunification exercise in June involving city police, fire and dozens of district staff; district will submit updated emergency operations plan to the Texas School Safety Center in September.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_46":93,"_48":94,"_50":95,"_52":96,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":97,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":98,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6149644,"Burleson ISD board grants president authority to approve interim hires until August meeting",540,2000000,2540000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5511365-a4bee6b38563cde8420a0fc60a853ccf&start=2000&end=2540","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5511365-a4bee6b38563cde8420a0fc60a853ccf/thumbnail_2000000.jpg","/articles/6149644/Texas/Burleson-ISD-board-grants-president-authority-to-approve-interim-hires-until-August-meeting","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6149644-160262eb2bc9fcd77d1c6c5a729b924a/orig.mp4?Expires=1770835912&Signature=n4tLU9wz~1TaQOeFTHjiLQbF7rd58iKEQP4h4i7oQp31zpybtEVu06JxiaM1lkRffW3RuTchP~v-~VziAi6W6EBFVc61-nTJEwtFq9CoGFWnZT9z~yb1iI8Gva7-jLHyItn6LeT9kVwuw2uNo8HNmJdurHXt-j1IqbYJ1fNOvooPIIMQG-ElL2-f6FbG8xDvqtHKqwS~SYZH7r00AUQUPCmscEJ9LBuctWM6FKx~7-99ntvPDPZ0sLnrzlROpapRGhJ1-41nm5pFi05CnGrE5hUXGdN0eYAXjRi4rD7TVe5p58Lgmq6YXVTo~USia-06AkJ0mBrcOlsSjH4iMg0jbQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Burleson Independent School District board on July 28 voted to authorize the board president to approve new hires made between the July 28 meeting and the district’s next regular meeting in August. The superintendent recommended the short-term authority during the board’s reconvened open session following a closed session.

The superintendent told the board, “I recommend that the board of trustees grant the board president the authority to approve new hires between now and the next regular meeting in August. The board will consider ratifying those hires at the next meeting.” The board then moved and voted; Pat Dallas called for the vote and the motion passed.

Nut graf: The action gives the board president temporary hiring authority for the interval between meetings; it does not replace the board’s role in ratifying hires at a full public session. Board members said the district will ratify any hires at the next regular meeting in August.

Details: The board announced it had been in closed session under Title V, Chapter 551 of the Texas Government Code and said one item required action in open session. The superintendent presented the proposed temporary change in process so the district can fill positions without waiting for the next regular meeting. The board’s vote on July 28 approved the recommendation and established that any hires approved under this temporary authority will be brought back for ratification at the next regular meeting.

Discussion vs. decision: The superintendent’s recommendation was discussed in open session after a closed session and resulted in a formal board vote. The board approved the emergency-style delegation of authority; no hires were enumerated in the public record at the July 28 meeting, and the board said it will consider ratification of any hires at the August meeting.

What it does not say: The board’s action does not identify specific positions, dollar amounts, or department assignments in the publicly posted motion; it also does not name a secondary approver or any written limits on types of hires covered by this temporary authorization.

Ending: The board took the action by vote on July 28 and will revisit ratification of any hires at its next regular meeting in August.","After a closed session, the Burleson Independent School District board voted to give the board president authority to approve new hires between the July 28 meeting and the district’s next regular meeting in August; the board said it will ratify those hires at the August meeting.","actionData","errors"]
