Georgetown ISD board authorizes land purchase process and certifies unopposed trustees
Summary
During the March 3 meeting the Georgetown ISD board voted to authorize staff to proceed with purchasing small parcels of land and to accept certification of unopposed candidates, canceling the May 3, 2025 trustee election.
The Georgetown Independent School District board took two formal actions at the March 3 meeting before opening its budget workshop: it authorized staff to proceed with purchasing identified parcels of real property and it accepted certification of three unopposed trustee candidates, canceling the May 3, 2025 election.
Board staff recommended a motion “to authorize the superintendent to contract to purchase these scraps of land” and to allow the board secretary to execute a certificate of resolution memorializing the board's action. A motion was made and seconded; trustees voted "Aye" and the motion carried. The transcript does not identify the individual who moved or seconded the motion.
Later, district staff announced that three candidates for the board were unopposed and recommended that trustees accept the certification of unopposed candidates and order cancellation of the May 3, 2025 election for the Georgetown ISD board of trustees. The board moved, seconded and voted to accept the certification; the motion carried. The transcript does not record names for mover or seconder and does not list an official vote tally beyond trustees saying "Aye." No additional conditions or amendments were recorded.
Both items were presented as routine business and were approved without extended discussion. The board then recessed from closed session and proceeded to the budget workshop.
