Stafford MSD trustees approve vulnerability assessment, flexible school‑day program and other routine items
Summary
At a June 9 meeting, the Stafford Municipal School District board approved a district vulnerability assessment, renewed an optional flexible school‑day program for over‑age high school students and delegated authority on JROTC compensation; all motions passed unanimously, 7–0.
Stafford Municipal School District trustees on June 9 approved several routine and oversight items in unanimous votes, including a confidential district vulnerability assessment, an annual optional flexible school‑day program for at‑risk and over‑age students, delegation of authority over JROTC employee compensation and the district professional development plan.
The actions came at the end of a meeting that included reports on recent state legislation, personnel compensation proposals and academic programs. Trustees took the votes after returning from a closed session called under the Texas Open Meetings Act.
The board voted to delegate authority to the superintendent and district counsel to take actions regarding JROTC employee compensation and to ratify prior decisions discussed in closed session. The motion, moved by Secretary Sosa Montelongo and seconded by Trustee Sanchez, passed 7–0. The motion’s text in the public record: “I move to delegate authority to the superintendent, his exit designee, and SMSD legal counsel to take such action regarding JROTC employees, compensation, and to ratify the prior action taken as discussed in this evening and prior closed session.”
Trustees also approved the district’s full vulnerability assessment, a document the board said would remain confidential for security reasons. Trustee Henna Hossa moved the approval; Vice President Jean Baptiste seconded. The motion carried 7–0.
On academic programming, the board renewed the district’s optional flexible school‑day program (QUEST), designed to prevent dropout among over‑age high school students. Vice President Jean Baptiste moved the measure; Trustee Thompson seconded. The motion passed 7–0. Staff had presented the program earlier in the meeting and gave an example of a student who completed the program and graduated.
The board approved the district professional development plan for 2025–26, moved by Vice President Jean Baptiste and seconded by Trustee Henna Hossa, and approved the consent agenda by motion of Secretary Sosa Montelongo and second by Trustee Thompson. Both votes passed 7–0.
The board’s public roll calls recorded the unanimous tallies for each motion but did not list individual yes/no votes beyond the motion makers and seconders.
Trustees did not take final action on the broader administrator compensation package or the compensation manual at this meeting; district staff asked that final action on the compensation manual be set for the board’s June 16 meeting so trustees could submit questions in advance.
The board adjourned following the votes and routine closing items.
