The Wichita Falls Independent School District Board of Trustees recorded multiple unanimous votes on routine and action items during the meeting.
Key votes and outcomes
- Consent agenda: The board approved the consent agenda by voice vote (aye, unanimous). No items were pulled for separate discussion.
- Maintenance tax notes (McNeil renovation): Trustees approved parameters allowing district staff to accept bids and issue maintenance tax notes to fund McNeil Elementary’s renovation. The motion passed 5–0. District advisers said expected net proceeds are about $10 million after premium and preliminary all‑in true interest cost is about 3.21%.
- Interlocal cooperation contract (tobacco enforcement): The board approved an interlocal agreement between the WFISD Police Department and Texas State University to participate in controlled tobacco-compliance checks using underage decoys to enforce laws against illegal tobacco sales to minors. The motion passed 5–0.
- TEA class-size waivers: The board approved the TEA waiver request for elementary classrooms that exceed the TEA class-size limits (allowable extension up to 24:1 per TEA guidance). The waiver application requires board approval prior to a Nov. 1 submission and the motion passed 5–0.
- Naming: The board approved renaming the press box at Memorial Stadium to the Eddie Walter Press Box; the motion passed 5–0.
- Applicant pool approval: The board approved the proposed applicant pool (personnel hires and replacements) as presented; vote was unanimous (5–0).
Context and next steps: Several action items required later administrative steps: pricing and closing for the maintenance tax notes (attorney general filing); TEA waiver paperwork due Nov. 1; and interlocal program implementation details coordinated with Texas State University and district legal counsel. The board took no recorded roll-call vote that named individual trustees for each motion in the transcript; tallies cited in the meeting were unanimous for recorded actions.
Ending: Final votes, if any, will be reflected in the minutes; the board announced it would enter closed session for personnel matters after the open session ended.
