Denton ISD board unanimously approves surplus declarations and land sales; consent agenda includes principal appointment
Summary
Trustees unanimously approved the consent agenda (including a principal reassignment) and adopted resolutions declaring two parcels surplus and authorizing their sales, acting on items discussed in closed session.
DENTON, Texas — The Denton ISD Board of Trustees on April 8 unanimously approved consent items including a principal reassignment and adopted resolutions declaring two district-owned parcels surplus followed by motions approving their sales and authorizing the superintendent to execute closing documents.
The board first voted to approve the consent agenda by motion of Trustee Miss Price, seconded by Trustee Miss English; president Burns called the vote and the board approved the consent agenda unanimously. The approved consent agenda included the appointment of Dr. Landon Turbiarte, formerly principal at Blanton, to the principal position at Stevens Elementary, effective as approved in the personnel item on the consent agenda.
Nut graf: After a closed session, trustees returned to open session and recorded four formal actions related to real property: two surplus-property resolutions and two corresponding approvals to sell the parcels. Each motion carried unanimously with board members raising hands to indicate support.
