Board approves interlocal agreement with City of Temple to support automotive CTE program
Summary
Trustees approved an interlocal agreement with the City of Temple that formalizes collaboration between Temple ISD automotive students and the city transportation department as part of the district’s CTE program; board materials described the item as a memorandum of understanding (MOU).
The Temple ISD Board of Trustees approved an interlocal agreement on July 14 between the district and the City of Temple that formalizes a CTE partnership connecting Temple ISD automotive students with the city’s transportation department.
Trustees moved and seconded the agreement during the consent portion of the meeting; the motion passed with an abstention noted on the vote. Doctor Ott summarized the item and said the agenda description was not fully detailed in the printed packet, and he clarified for trustees that the agreement concerns the district’s automotive Career and Technical Education (CTE) program and the City of Temple’s transportation department.
According to the board discussion, the MOU supports hands‑on training opportunities for automotive students, though the board packet and the meeting presentation did not include detailed financial terms or a step‑by‑step implementation timeline. Staff encouraged trustees who had not reviewed the MOU to read the executed document for specifics.
The board did not discuss any related budget transfer or new recurring appropriation at the meeting; trustees approved the interlocal agreement as presented. The board member recorded as abstaining was not named in the motion record other than the chair’s announcement that the vote passed with an abstention.
Staff will implement the agreement through the district’s CTE office and coordinate scheduling and supervision with the City of Temple transportation department. The approval allows the partnership to proceed but does not in itself allocate new district funds beyond existing CTE program resources.
