Calhoun County ISD approves consent agenda including attendance-credit purchase and dual-credit MOUs
Summary
Trustees approved the consent agenda June 16, which included financials, budget amendments, an auditor agreement, purchase of attendance credits (WADA) for Chapter 49 netting, an OnRamps interlocal with UT Austin and a dual-credit MOU with UT Permian Basin.
The Calhoun County ISD Board of Trustees approved the consent agenda at its June 16 meeting, including minutes, the April 2025 financial statement, 2024–25 budget amendments, an external auditor agreement for 2024–25, and agreements affecting funding and academic partnerships for 2025–26. Why it matters: The consent items affect how the district documents its finances and how it will recognize average daily attendance for state funding, as well as the courses available to high-school students through dual-credit partnerships. Among the items approved were an Agreement for the Purchase of Attendance Credits (WADA) netting Chapter 49 funding for 2025–26 and an interlocal agreement with The University of Texas at Austin for the OnRamps program for 2025–26. Trustees also approved a memorandum of understanding with The University of Texas of the Permian Basin for academic dual-credit programs for the 2025–26 school year. The board, by motion of David Gaskamp and seconded by Lori Leal, approved the consent agenda 5–0. The motion included delegation of contractual authority to the superintendent under Texas Education Code §11.1511(c)(4) solely for the purpose of obligating the district under TEC §48.257 and TEC Chapter 49 Subchapters A and D and rules adopted by the commissioner under TEC §49.006. The minutes record no separate debate on consent items; the motion consolidated approval of the listed documents and agreements.
