Board approves routine fiscal and contract items including election order, construction contracts and vendor agreements
Summary
The HEB ISD board approved donations, called the May 3, 2025 election, amended construction contracts for replacement elementary campuses, authorized a Medicaid billing agreement with Onward Learning, and approved the superintendent's contract modification, among other routine items.
At its called meeting, the Hurst‑Euless‑Bedford ISD board approved a slate of routine and significant actions, including an order of election for May, construction contract amendments for replacement elementary campuses, a vendor agreement for Medicaid billing services and a modification to the superintendent’s contract.
Key outcomes - Donations: The board approved the February 2025 donations as presented. - Order of election: The board voted to call the May 3, 2025 election to fill board places 2, 3, 4 and 5 and to continue joint elections with political subdivisions in Tarrant County; the administration was authorized to negotiate a contract with Tarrant County Elections Administration. - Construction contracts: The board approved amending the existing contract with Joris General Contractors Inc. to add the construction of replacement campuses for Hurst Hills, Wilshire and Bell Manor elementary schools and authorized the superintendent to execute the contracts. - Medicaid billing services: The board approved an agreement with Onward Learning for Medicaid billing and reporting services to replace temporary arrangements with Houston ISD. - Superintendent contract: The board approved modifications to the superintendent’s contract as submitted.
Other approved items included routine procurement and renewals listed on the agenda (AP and IB examinations, web filter renewal, vehicle purchases, maintenance contracts). Each motion recorded on the meeting passed following board votes; specific mover and seconder names were not recorded in the public portion of the transcript for every motion.
Why it matters: These votes finalize procurement, contract and governance steps that affect district operations, capital projects and elections administration. The construction contract amendments move three elementary replacement projects forward under a single contractor; the election order initiates the May trustee election timetable.
