Summary
Trustees unanimously adopted a resolution listing legislative priorities for the 89th Texas Legislature, approved a consent agenda of procurement and calendar items, and confirmed several administrative appointments and personnel actions.
At its Jan. 13 meeting Goose Creek CISD's Board of Trustees unanimously approved a resolution outlining the district's legislative priorities for the 89th Texas Legislature, adopted a multi-item consent agenda and approved administrative personnel recommendations.
What passed at a glance
- Legislative priorities resolution: the board "affirm[ed] its support" for increased state funding for public schools (including teacher pay and full-day pre-K), a funding model that counts all enrolled students, and automatic adjustments to the basic allotment, according to the resolution text presented. Trustees adopted the resolution by voice vote; the board announced the motion passed unanimously.
- Consent agenda: trustees approved the fiscal and operational consent items as presented. The consent list included the 2025 26 instructional calendar; property foreclosure actions; and first extensions for two RFPs for nutrition services (smallwares and large equipment/installation). The packet also listed tax refunds for board action; the full consent items were approved without pull for discussion.
- Personnel and administrative hires: the board accepted elections, resignations and retirements presented and ratified several administrative hires. The board approved the recommendation to name Sean Apprentice as principal of Stuart Career Tech High School and approved Nancy Hernandez as risk-management coordinator and Tiffany Soetu as lead transportation coordinator. Trustees voted unanimously for these appointments.
Procedural notes and vote counts
Board members conducted the business by motion and voice vote; meeting minutes record unanimous approvals for the resolution, the consent agenda and the listed personnel actions. Votes were recorded as unanimous; the board counted seven affirmative hands when asked.
Direct quote from the meeting
"Administration brings this to the board for consideration and adoption," an administration representative said before the board moved and unanimously approved the resolution.
