Summary
The Frenship ISD Board appointed Tyler Gaines to fill the Place 1 vacancy left by Brad Draper and approved the consent agenda by unanimous voice vote. Gaines was sworn in and introduced his family; the appointment will run through the May 2025 trustee election.
The Frenship ISD Board of Trustees on Monday appointed Tyler Gaines to fill the Place 1 seat left vacant when trustee Brad Draper moved out of the district and resigned in October 2024. The motion to appoint was made and seconded on the board floor and approved by voice vote; the president announced, “Ayes have it.”
Dr. McCord explained the legal basis for the action, saying that under the election code "if a vacancy occurs on the board, the remaining board members may fill the vacancy by appointment until the next trustee election." The board noted the appointee will serve until the next trustee election in May 2025.
After the vote Gaines was sworn in at the podium with family present. During the oath he stated, "I, Tyler Gaines, do solemnly swear ... and will, to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution and the laws of the United States and of this State," concluding, "so help me God." Board members thanked Gaines and his family for stepping forward to serve.
The board also approved its consent agenda by voice vote following a motion by Jamie Phillips and a second by Kyle Rogers. No dissenting votes were recorded.
The board scheduled further business on its calendar, including a budget workshop and the next regular meeting, and closed the session with logistical notes about post-meeting photos.
