Board re-elects Tolbert as president; approves final year with Gold Star Transit
Summary
The Eagle Mountain Saginaw ISD Board of Education reselected its officers and approved a one‑year renewal with Gold Star Transit, both motions passing 7–0.
At the May 19 regular meeting the Eagle Mountain Saginaw ISD Board of Education completed two board actions: reorganization of officers and approval of a final renewal year with the district’s contracted transportation provider.
Board reorganization: A motion to retain Marilyn Tolbert as board president, move Steven G. Newcomb into the vice‑president role and have Paige Ring serve as secretary was moved and seconded; the motion carried unanimously, 7–0. The board recorded the motion as “Motion by Blake, second by Ron” and the chair declared the motion carried.
Gold Star Transit renewal: District staff recommended exercising the final renewal year in the agreement with Gold Star Transit for the 2025–26 school year. Gold Star requested a 1.4% CPI increase, which administration reported would add approximately $109,000 to current costs. A motion to approve Amendment Number 4 with Gold Star Transit, Inc., was moved by Steve, seconded by Ron, and passed 7–0.
Why it matters: the officer election sets internal leadership for the coming year; the Gold Star action addresses the transportation contract and an incremental cost tied to CPI.
Ending: both items were approved by unanimous vote; no amendments or dissent were recorded in the public meeting minutes.
