SBOE takes no action on four Generation‑30 charter applications and vetoes two others
The Texas State Board of Education considered a series of Generation‑30 open‑enrollment charter school applications on June 27 and recorded mixed outcomes: on the commissioner's recommendations the board opted to take no action for several applicants and voted to veto two others.

Vice Chair Little presented the committee of the full board's recommendations: to take no action on Arcadia High School (Houston), Fort Worth STEAM Academy, Frank Lou Junior Academy for Music and Arts, and the Museum School of East Dallas, and to veto Unidos Soccer Leadership Academy and Valente Academy. TEA staff told the board they had drafted contingencies for all applicants as part of standard review processes.

The board considered each application separately with roll‑call voting. After discussion the board voted to take no action on the commissioner's recommendation for Arcadia High School; similar "no action" votes were recorded for Fort Worth STEAM Academy, Frank Lou Junior Academy for Music and Arts, and the Museum School of East Dallas. On Unidos Soccer Leadership Academy and Valente Academy the board voted to veto the commissioner's recommendation.

Board members used roll call votes for several items and the chair explained the procedural meaning of votes in each case (for some motions "yes" meant approval and on veto motions "yes" meant to veto). TEA staff confirmed draft contingencies existed for applicants; the board and staff discussed that no substantive changes in contingency language had occurred since committee consideration earlier in the week.

The outcomes mean the commissioner’s recommended approvals did not become final for the four applications where the board took no action, and the two vetoed applications are blocked by board vote. Board members stressed the need for clear recordkeeping and transparent contingencies; the chair summarized the set of charter outcomes at the end of the session: the board took no action on several applicants and vetoed Unidos and Valente as noted.
