Santa Fe ISD board approves purchase of Bluebonnet K-5 reading curriculum

The Santa Fe ISD Board of Trustees on an action vote approved the adoption and purchase of the Bluebonnet Learning K–5 reading curriculum not to exceed $94,460, funded from the district's Instructional Material Allotment (IMA).

The motion was introduced by an unidentified staff member who said, "Mr. President, I move that the Board approve the adoption and purchase of Bluebonnet Learning Curriculum for K through 5 reading not to exceed $94,460 for instructional material allotment funds, IMA." The motion was seconded. Board President (identified in the record as "Mr. President") called for questions; none were raised, and the president asked members to raise their hands to indicate approval. The president then said, "If not, all those in favor, please raise your hands. Are there any opposed? I hope it is all unanimous. Thank you very much, ma'am." The motion was approved with no opposition recorded.

The board did not read individual roll-call votes into the record; the transcript shows the approval occurred by members raising their hands. The motion’s text as entered in the meeting record specified the funding source (Instructional Material Allotment) and a maximum purchase amount ($94,460). No amendments, conditions or contingencies were recorded in the transcript.

Following the vote, the meeting shifted to communications and acknowledgments from trustees and district leadership.

The purchase will supply the Bluebonnet Learning K–5 reading materials for classroom use. The transcript did not specify delivery dates, implementation timeline, vendor contract number, or which campuses will receive materials; those details were not specified in the public record of this meeting.
