Summary
At its March meeting, the Hurst‑Euless‑Bedford ISD board approved the appointment of Kristen Harris as Lakewood Elementary principal and passed a series of motions to advance facility renovations, a band trip payment, a stadium event MOU, and related policy revisions.
The Hurst‑Euless‑Bedford ISD Board of Trustees on the March agenda appointed Kristen Harris as principal of Lakewood Elementary and approved several procurement and event items, including a job order contract delivery method and a JOC proposal for renovations at 1701 West Euless/West Hills Boulevard.
Board President (identified in the record as Trustee (Speaker 1)) called for a motion to appoint Kristen Harris as Lakewood Elementary principal; Trustee (Speaker 2) moved to approve, Trustee (Speaker 3) seconded, and the motion passed. Kristen Harris introduced family members and staff who attended the meeting.
The board next approved a construction delivery method for renovations at 1701 West Euless Boulevard, adopting the job order contract (JOC) approach to expedite the work after termination of a prior contract. With the delivery method approved, trustees voted to accept a JOC proposal from SDB Contracting Services for the renovation as presented.
Trustees also approved payment of district funds to support Trinity High School’s participation in the Music for All National Concert Band Festival, a memorandum of understanding to host an event by a national drum‑corps organization at Pennington stadium, and multiple policy revisions tied to interdistrict transfer authority.
