Taylor ISD board approves consent agenda; adopts i-Ready as universal screener and accepts improvement plans
Summary
The Taylor ISD Board of Trustees approved the consent agenda 5–0 (two absent), which included adopting i-Ready as the district's universal screener to satisfy HB 2 requirements, approving the district and campus improvement plans, a budget amendment and quarterly investment report, and approving personnel resignations in a separate motion.
The Taylor Independent School District Board of Trustees unanimously approved its consent agenda Monday evening in a 5–0 vote with two trustees absent. The motion, made by Trustee Boggs and seconded by Trustee Mitchell, carried with no recorded dissents.
Items listed on the consent agenda included minutes from the Sept. 22, 2025 regular meeting; a budget amendment; the quarterly investment report; formal approval of i-Ready as the district's universal screener (to comply with HB 2, Article 5); approval of the district and campus improvement plans; and adoption of a local policy provision (EC Local). The board packet identified these items for combined approval; no trustee held any single item for separate discussion before the vote.
A separate motion to approve personnel resignations passed by the same 5–0 margin, moved by Trustee Meyers and seconded by Trustee Carter. The board did not return to closed session before voting on personnel; the motion to approve resignations was taken in open session with no roll-call names recorded beyond the motion and second.
The board's recorded tally for both motions was "Motion carries 5, 0 with 2 absent." The meeting minutes and posted agenda identify the universal screener approval and the district/campus improvement plan approvals as part of the consent agenda.
Board chair Jenna opened the vote for the consent agenda and closed the vote following the motion and second; the board then continued with its published agenda.
