Board approves CTE grant purchases and new secondary courses
Summary
Trustees approved purchases from three vendors using grant funds and approved new secondary CTE and parenting courses for 2025'1 to align with TEA course updates.
The Southwest ISD Board approved three purchases funded by grants and approved new secondary courses for the 2025'1 master schedule that reflect updates from the Texas Education Agency. Staff said the items are funded by a workforce/CTE grant and that the district met a 90-day purchasing requirement tied to the award. The board approved purchases from Pocket Nurse (amount not specified at motion), Dia Medical USA (not to exceed $105,000) and zSpace (not to exceed $90,000). "This is all grant money," staff said when trustees asked about funding. In the same section of the agenda, the board approved new secondary courses required by TEA updates for 2025'1: an extended practicum CTE course and parenting courses (Parenting 1 and Parenting 2) for the district's student parent program. Celine, the presenter, said the TEA changes eliminated some current courses and the district is updating its master schedule to align with new course codes. All motions carried on voice votes. Staff said purchases will come from the specified grant funds and that final procurement will follow district purchasing rules. Ending: Staff will complete procurement and incorporate the approved courses into the 2025'1 master schedule; purchases are funded through the identified grants.
