United ISD approves pay for staff after Troutman Elementary closed by city water outage
Summary
The board approved compensating employees for a closure at Troutman Elementary on Oct. 4, 2024, that district staff said was caused by a city water system failure and was not the district's fault.
The United Independent School District Board of Trustees voted to approve employee compensation for staff affected by an emergency closure at Troutman Elementary on Oct. 4, 2024.
A district presenter explained that the campus was closed because of a city water outage that prevented normal instruction and that the district sought permission to compensate staff for the day since the closure was not the district's fault: "we compensate them for the day that it wasn't their fault and that we take care of all the needs that took place," the presenter said.
A trustee moved and seconded the resolution; the Chair called for a voice vote and recorded 'aye' with no opposition heard. The board approved compensation for employees and did not indicate a roll-call tally in open session.
