Votes at a glance: Edcouch-Elsa ISD board actions on May 21, 2025
Summary
Summary of motions approved by the Edcouch-Elsa ISD Board of Trustees on May 21, including consent-item contract updates, CTE lab approvals, personnel actions and procurement authorizations.
The following motions were recorded as approved during the Edcouch-Elsa ISD Board of Trustees meeting on May 21, 2025. Vote counts are voice votes where the transcript does not list individual trustee roll-call votes; tallies are noted when the record specified abstentions or nays.
• Consent agenda: Approval of consent items (including updates to the performance contract related to Senate Bill 1882 and Region 1 operating partner modifications). Motion carried by voice vote. Trustees discussed TEA correspondence that asked the district to specify contract period (May 21, 2025 to June 30, 2028) and to delineate district and operating partner duties; Region 1 will operate the budget and staff will present the first-year budget to TEA.
• Approval to utilize the Red Building for CTE labs (welding, HVAC, electrical, patient care). Motion made by Mr. Torres, seconded by Miss Tanguma; approved by voice vote.
• Approval of procurement method, selection criteria, review and ranking committee, prevailing weight rate, and authorization to seek proposals/bids for the CTE labs project. Motion made by Mr. Torres, seconded by Miss Kanguma; approved by voice vote.
• Approval of career-and-technology pathways and proposed budget for the CTE project. Motion made by Mr. Torres, seconded by Miss Tanguma; approved by voice vote. Staff stated grant funds must be encumbered by Sept. 30, 2025.
• Approval of voluntary separation agreement with the superintendent (discussed in executive session). Motion carried by voice vote.
• Naming Doctor Sandra Chojang interim superintendent at no additional cost to the budget. Motion made by Mr. Torres, seconded by Miss Vasquez; vote recorded as one abstention and one opposing vote, motion carries.
• Approval of summer-school and other personnel discussed in executive session. Motion made by Mr. Torres, seconded by Miss Tanguma; approved by voice vote.
Transcript notes: many votes were taken by voice and recorded as "aye" or "motion carries" without roll-call tallies; where the transcript recorded an abstention and a nay (interim superintendent appointment), the transcript did not identify the trustees who cast those specific votes.
The board also heard the superintendent's report — enrollment, attendance and truancy updates — and hosted student presentations from the College and Career Center and the student council during the meeting's recognition and reports portions.
