Summary
At a called meeting, the Richardson ISD Board of Trustees voted 6-0 to approve a corrective action plan addressing discipline practices under the McKinney-Vento homelessness law; district staff told trustees recent state legislation has changed some requirements in the plan.
The Richardson ISD Board of Trustees voted 6-0 on a motion to approve a corrective action plan addressing McKinney-Vento discipline at the district's called meeting. President Chris Boteet opened the meeting at 6:03 p.m. and trustees approved the plan after a brief staff presentation.
Superintendent Branham told trustees the district has worked on the improvement plan throughout the 2024–25 school year and has addressed required items. She also said parts of the plan overlap with recent state legislation, and that if those legislative changes are applied the district would no longer be classified as needing improvement for the same issue. "I do ask that the board approve the corrective action plan as presented," Superintendent Branham said.
Trustee [Motion mover] Miss Pacheco moved to approve the plan; Trustee Miss Harris seconded. President Chris Boteet called for raised hands for the vote; the motion passed 6 to 0.
The board did not engage in extended discussion on the item during the meeting. Board members asked no follow-up questions at the time, and staff indicated the corrective work has been ongoing and coordinated with changes from state legislation.
The board did not take additional action on the issue beyond approving the corrective action plan. The meeting adjourned at 7:34 p.m.
