Vote: 7–0 in favor.
Board members clarified that the MOU covers transportation only; the district would not house youth from the center on campus and district students retain priority for transportation resources.
What trustees said: During the staff contract vote, Nancy Alana made the motion to approve the recommendations that had been discussed in executive session. The board did not separate individual probationary items and voted on the packet as presented.
Background and next steps: The surplus property resolution authorizes sale of a seven‑acre parcel located at 2850 Acton School Road and delegates sale authority as set out in the resolution. The board did not discuss sale terms in open session; specific sale process and timeline were not specified in the minutes. The catastrophic leave request will be processed according to board policy and human resources procedures. The MOU with Lake Granbury Youth Services Center is an emergency preparedness measure; staff said the arrangement would be used only if the youth services center needs to evacuate and that district students would take priority if an evacuation involved district facilities.
