The Bridge City Independent School District Board of Trustees on Sept. 15 approved a $5,000 donation from T‑Mobile to Bridge City High School for student activities. The action was taken during the regular board meeting at the district administration building and passed on a 6‑0 vote with one trustee absent.
The donation was moved by Trustee Michael Johnson and seconded by Trustee Paul Zoch. Board President Rebecca Rutledge recorded the vote: Rutledge, Zoch, Thad Hill, Mark Anderson, Michael Johnson and Jerry McInnis voted yea; Trustee Judy Cole was absent. The board listed the item under “Board Donation” on the consent agenda and approved it as presented.
Superintendent Dr. Mike Kelly also presented an informational donation from Kenneth and Peggy Prosperie: the district received 270 Ten Commandments posters, listed in the minutes as valued at $270. That item was presented to the board as an informational superintendent donation and was not subject to a board vote.
The board took no additional formal action tied to either gift during the meeting. The approval of the T‑Mobile donation authorizes the funds to be used for student activities at Bridge City High School as stated in the board motion.
