Board approves consent agenda, wearable panic-badge purchase and amends superintendent contract in closed session
Summary
Trustees approved a multi-item consent agenda including purchases, MOU amendments and a wearable panic-badge phase‑2 purchase; later in the meeting they voted unanimously to amend the superintendent’s contract as discussed in closed session.
At the Jan. 14 regular meeting the La Porte ISD Board of Trustees approved a multi-item consent agenda and later took formal action to amend the superintendent’s contract following closed-session discussion.
The consent agenda, approved in a single vote, included minutes, principal reports, financial reports, a human-resources report, an amended TTESS teacher-appraiser list, a dual-credit MOU with San Jacinto College District, a budget amendment, personnel actions, contracts for special-education contracting services, and the purchase of wearable panic badges (hardware/software phase 2). The board also adopted Resolution No. 2025-10 calling the May 3, 2025 general trustee election.
The board approved the consent agenda by roll call; the meeting transcript records a motion (“So moved”), a second by trustee Mason and board confirmation that the consent agenda was approved.
Later in the agenda, the board considered one action item noted as having been discussed in closed session. A trustee moved “that we amend the superintendent's contract as we discussed in closed session,” a motion that was seconded and recorded by the board as approved unanimously. The meeting record does not disclose the substance of that contract amendment (the matter was discussed in closed session).
The board also held the required public hearing on the 2023–24 district annual report and TAPR and received multiple administrative updates during the meeting.
