Summary

Trustees approved the consent agenda (one item pulled), denied a full life‑cycle project at Downing in favor of safety‑only work, adopted the 4:35 academic calendar, and unanimously approved multiple waivers, resolutions, targeted improvement plans and an election order.

The Lewisville Independent School District Board of Trustees took several formal actions during its Feb. 3 meeting. Key votes and outcomes follow.

• Consent agenda: The board approved the consent agenda with one item pulled for separate consideration; the motion to approve the remaining consent items passed 7–0.

• Downing Middle School (Bond 2023 project K1A2): Trustee Allison Lassonde moved to approve only safety items for the Downing 20‑year life‑cycle maintenance project and to deny additional projects at this time; following discussion the motion passed unanimously 7–0. Trustees emphasized the vote was not a final decision about Downing’s future but a fiscal prioritization pending broader planning.

• Academic calendar (2025–26): After debate the board approved a 4:35‑minute per day calendar (approximately 175 student days) by a 5–2 vote (yes: Lassonde, Taylor, Proznick, Okhotep, Bonner; no: Sells, Barker). An earlier motion for a 4:45 option failed.

• Targeted improvement plans: The board approved targeted improvement plans for Delaney Middle School, South Ridge Elementary and Mill Street Elementary (7–0).

• Waivers and emergency resolutions related to Feb. 3 closures: The board authorized submission of a missed‑school‑day waiver and a low‑attendance waiver to TEA for campuses affected by the Feb. 3 water‑main break, both approved 7–0. The board also approved a resolution delegating authority to continue payroll and administrative action during temporary campus closures (7–0).

• Recognition and nomination: The board approved a resolution nominating Superintendent Lori Rapp as TASB Region 11 Superintendent of the Year (7–0).
