San Benito CISD board approves consent agenda, proclaims National GEAR UP Week and confirms personnel actions
Summary
Trustees approved a large consent agenda covering contracts and agreements, passed a proclamation declaring National GEAR UP Week, and—after a closed session—voted to approve employment actions, a superintendent employment agreement and a litigation item; an interlocal OnRamps agreement was discussed but no recorded vote appears in the transcript.
The San Benito CISD Board of Trustees approved a bundled consent agenda covering academic-service agreements, finance items, bids and administrative contracts, then moved through action items including a proclamation for National GEAR UP Week. Later, after returning from closed session, trustees approved personnel actions, the superintendent's employment agreement and an item relating to pending litigation.
During the consent-agenda vote the presiding officer recorded a motion "by mister Coronado and a second by miss Hernandez" and stated, "All consent agenda items are approved." The consent agenda included multiple interlocal memoranda of understanding and agreements for the 2025–26 school year and routine finance and administration items.
On action item 9.1, trustees considered and approved the GEAR UP proclamation recognizing National GEAR UP Week for the district; the presentation earlier in the meeting stated the program serves 646 eighth-grade students in the district and that the week of September 22–26, 2025 is being proclaimed.
Trustees also discussed an interlocal agreement with the University of Texas OnRamps dual-enrollment program; staff described teacher training and student participation opportunities, and the board asked for a motion to approve the interlocal agreement, but no recorded vote on that item appears in the public transcript before the meeting moved into closed session.
The board entered closed session under Texas Government Code provisions for attorney consultation and personnel matters and reconvened later the same evening. After reconvening trustees approved employment, resignation, retirement and termination actions (motion by Crystal Hernandez, second Alex Reyna), approved the superintendent's employment agreement (motion by Hernandez, second Reyna), and approved a board action related to 2025 DCL00268 SBCISD v. Davila et al. (motion by Hernandez, second by 'mister Aina'), each motion recorded as approved in the transcript.
