The San Benito Consolidated Independent School District Board of Trustees approved a multi-item consent agenda and several post–closed-session personnel and legal actions during its regular meeting.
Trustee Orlando Lopez moved to approve the consent agenda covering academic partnerships and memoranda of understanding (including Texas State Technical College Upward Bound and United Way of Southern Cameron County), business and finance reports, bid awards and districtwide professional services, and an agenda item authorizing issuance actions related to San Benito CISD unlimited tax refunding bonds, series 2026. The motion was seconded by Trustee Israel Villareal and the chair announced, "Motion carries." The consent agenda included a mix of contracts, grant applications and budget items read aloud by the chair.
On agenda item 10.1, trustees moved into executive session to discuss nominations for directors of the Cameron County Appraisal District board. After reconvening, Trustee Ruto Gomez moved that the 60 votes allocated to "Samuel CSC" be given to David A. Garza. The motion was seconded and the chair announced the motion carried.
The board also approved personnel actions discussed in closed session, including employment, resignations, retirements and terminations. Superintendent Alfredo Perez recommended Nicole Murillo as principal of Judge Oscar de la Fuente Elementary; Trustee Israel Villareal moved to approve the recommendation, Trustee Ruto Gomez seconded, and the motion carried.
Trustees approved district legal actions related to SBCISD v. Davila pending review by the district's counsel (a motion to approve was made and carried), and trustees voted to deny a level-3 grievance as discussed in executive session.
Meeting minutes recorded motions, seconders and the chair's announcements but did not provide individual recorded vote tallies for the motions; minutes show each motion carried as announced by the chair.
