Humble ISD trustees elect officers, approve personnel recommendations and expulsions, and pass consent agenda
Summary
The Humble ISD Board of Trustees voted to install officers for the 2025–26 school year, approved personnel recommendations and student expulsions presented in closed session, and adopted a broad consent agenda including vendor approvals and budgetary transfers.
The Humble Independent School District Board of Trustees selected its officers for the 2025–26 school year and approved several actions after recessing into closed session earlier in the meeting.
Trustees voted to approve the board officers for 2025–26 with Marcus Holmes as president, Mike Hrabowski as vice president, Robert Scarfo as secretary and Oscar Silva as parliamentarian. "Yes. I move to approve the selection of the board of trustees officers for the 2025–26 school year as follows: Marcus Holmes as president, Mike Hrabowski as vice president, Robert Scarfo as secretary, and Oscar Silva as parliamentarian," a trustee moved; the motion was seconded and the board approved the slate 7–0. After the vote, the board recorded that "With that vote, mister Marcus Holmes will now take over as board president."
During action items from closed session the board approved the administration's personnel recommendations. Trustee Oscar Silva moved to "approve the administration's personnel recommendations as presented in closed session with addendum" and the motion passed. The board also approved the administration's recommendation for student expulsions as presented in closed session after Silva moved approval and the motion was seconded and passed.
The board approved the consent agenda — items 6a through 6s, excluding item 6t which was withdrawn. The consent agenda included approval of minutes for recent meetings; approval of goods, professional services and non-construction services exceeding district thresholds; bond fund capital projects budgetary transfers; budgetary transfers and amendments; tax refunds and depository contracts; authorization of interlocal agreements; and approvals of additional vendors across multiple RFPs (including vendors for supplies and services for students with disabilities, general merchandise, educational consultants, catering, district-wide maintenance and repair services, school safety products, software subscriptions and transportation fleet services). A trustee moved to approve the consent agenda "item 6a through 6b, exclusive of item 6t," a second was recorded, and the motion passed.
During board member remarks trustees emphasized a renewed focus on student outcomes and districtwide academic improvement. Trustee Marcus Holmes and other trustees made remarks stressing support for teachers and staff and signaling plans to address campuses with low ratings; the board discussed the grievance process and pledged attention to student achievement. In additions to action items, trustees agreed to add a proposed workshop on smartphone policies and related high school issues (including HB 1481, which a trustee referenced as banning phones in schools effective Sept. 1) to a future agenda if there were no objections from the board.
No additional formal board direction or ordinance was adopted in open session on celebration protocols requested by public commenters; the board's approvals above reflect motions and votes recorded in the meeting minutes.
