PERRYTON ISD trustees approve minutes, investment review, adjunct faculty agreement, election orders and extend superintendent's contract — votes at a glance
Summary
At its meeting the PERRYTON ISD Board of Trustees voted unanimously on a package of routine and substantive items, including approval of minutes, a review of the district investment accounts, election orders, an adjunct faculty appointment, a targeted improvement plan, and a one‑year extension and 5% raise for the superintendent.
The PERRYTON ISD Board of Trustees voted unanimously, 7–0, to approve a series of routine and substantive agenda items, including minutes, a staff investment review, approvals related to elections, an adjunct faculty appointment, a targeted improvement plan for the junior high, and a one‑year extension to the superintendent'019s contract with a 5% pay increase.
Why it matters: several votes were procedural but affect compliance, district staffing and near‑term operations (for example, the targeted improvement plan is required for grant compliance and an adjunct faculty appointment ensures students can be counted as present for certain off‑campus agricultural events). The superintendent’s extension and pay increase is a personnel action the board approved effective immediately.
Votes at a glance - Approval of minutes from the previous meeting: Motion carried, 7–0. (Motion to approve moved and seconded during the opening of the meeting.)
- Board resolution regarding review of the investment program: Approved, 7–0. Staff reported that the district closed accounts at Fidelity and Charles Schwab and presented interest earnings for the prior calendar year (district staff cited roughly $1,700,000 in interest across bond and general funds as shown in the materials). Motion carried, 7–0.
- Approval of adjunct faculty agreement for Scott Strong: Approved, 7–0. The board authorized the routine annual adjunct faculty appointment that allows students on supervised agricultural events to be counted in attendance under state rules.
- Targeted Improvement Plan (junior high): Approved, 7–0. Staff said this approval is required for compliance with the final year of the related grant and that the junior high should not need a similar plan next year.
- Order of election for May (two at‑large board positions): Approved, 7–0. Trustees formally called the May election for two at‑large seats that are up for reelection.
- Resolution and joint election agreement with the city: Approved, 7–0. Staff said state law requires a joint election agreement when the district and city hold elections on the same day; the agreement also reduces costs by sharing election administration.
- Authorization for purchases of buses and district vehicles: Approved, 7–0. (See separate article for details.)
- Superintendent contract extension and pay increase: Approved, 7–0. The board voted to extend Superintendent Brown'019s contract by one year and to grant a 5% salary increase effective immediately.
Each motion was moved and seconded on the record and recorded as carrying unanimously. Several agenda items included additional discussion and direction to staff (for example, the investment review and bus procurement items included requests for further detail and follow‑up).
