Board approves donations, wireless equipment purchase (contingent review) and attendance-waiver application
Summary
The board accepted three donations, approved a vendor purchase for wireless networking equipment subject to superintendent and board-president review of terms, and approved a waiver request for low attendance on two January dates.
The Tyler ISD Board approved several consent-agenda items including community donations, a contingent purchase of wireless networking equipment and a waiver request for low attendance on two January dates.
On gifts and donations the board approved donations reported in the packet: First Baptist Church, Tyler, donated $5,000 to the Wayne D. Bossier Center for Exceptional Programs; the RW Fair Foundation provided $15,000 to the Tyler ISD Athletic Department youth basketball program; and Cooperative Teacher Credit Union approved $38,550 for Tyler ISD communications to support district events. The board moved and approved the donations with expressions of gratitude recorded in the meeting.
The board also approved a contract award to purchase wireless network equipment with the superintendent authorized to review and execute terms in coordination with the board president. Trustees approved the motion contingent upon final review and signatures. The transcript records a motion specifically making the approval subject to the superintendent and board president reviewing the vendor terms and conditions before execution.
Finally, trustees approved the district’s application for a state waiver for low attendance on Jan. 9 and Jan. 10, 2025, after weather-related attendance declines. The board approved the waiver motion so the district may apply to the state for adjustment for those low-attendance days.
