Burleson ISD trustees approve routine motions including depository award, innovative courses and temporary hiring authority
Summary
At the May 12 meeting the board adopted the agenda order, approved the consent agenda, authorized the board president to approve interim hires, awarded depository services to Wells Fargo and approved proposed innovative courses for 2025–26.
The Burleson Independent School District Board of Trustees approved several routine governance actions during the May 12 meeting, including authority for interim hiring, awarding depository services, and approving proposed innovative courses for 2025–26.
The board voted to grant the board president authority to approve new hires between the May 12 meeting and the next regular meeting in June; trustees said hires approved under that authority would be ratified at the June meeting. A motion to grant that authority was moved and seconded on the record and the chair said, “I see none opposed,” after which the motion passed.
Trustees approved the consent agenda as presented by unanimous voice vote.
The board awarded RFP 24‑25‑04 for depository services to Wells Fargo for the 2025–27 biennium after a competitive request‑for‑proposal process. District staff said four banks responded and that the incumbent, Wells Fargo, ranked highest under the district’s evaluation criteria. The board voted to approve the award; the chair again reported no opposition.
Trustees also approved a slate of 19 state‑approved innovative courses recommended for the 2025–26 school year; district staff reported 409 students currently enrolled in those courses and the motion to approve the courses passed with no recorded opposition.
All motions described above were presented and decided in open session following a closed session; recorded minutes indicate the motions passed with no votes opposed during the May 12 meeting. The board did not provide detailed roll‑call tallies in open session for each motion on the transcript.
