Summary
Trustees approved the consent agenda and multiple nonconsent items on Dec. 15, including continuation of electronic signatures, acceptance of the FY2025 single-audit report, approval of library acquisitions, sale of ~0.445 acres to Chimney Hill MUD, a finding that good cause did not exist for listed employees to resign their contracts, a termination notice for an employee under a probationary contract and upholding a level-3 appeal at level 4.
At its Dec. 15 regular meeting, the Cypress Fairbanks Independent School District board approved a series of consent and nonconsent items and took several personnel actions discussed in closed session.
The board approved the posted consent agenda (minutes for Nov. 10 and Nov. 17, 2025 tax roll, policy second readings where applicable, MOUs and affiliation agreements, facility approvals and recommended purchase orders) after a motion and second, and a voice vote that the meeting record reports as passed.
Nonconsent approvals included: continuing use of existing electronic signatures on checks until new board signature templates are received; acceptance of the district’s FY2025 single audit report for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025; and approval of library-material acquisitions listed in the November acquisition list (board members noted state law requires board oversight of library acquisitions). The board also approved a first-reading omnibus of multiple policy revisions.
The board approved the sale of approximately 0.445 acres to the Chimney Hill Municipal Utility District, authorizing the superintendent or designee to negotiate final terms and execute necessary documents; that item had been discussed in closed session. Trustees additionally moved to render a finding under Texas Administrative Code chapter 249.17 and relevant Texas Education Code sections that "good cause did not exist" for certain listed employees to resign their contracts, and directed notification that a complaint was being submitted to the State Board for Educator Certification for contract abandonment. The board approved the superintendent’s recommendation to give notice to an employee (identified in the record as Nigel Young) that her probationary contract is terminated pursuant to Texas Education Code 21.104. Finally, on a level-4 appeal related to a prior level-3 decision, the board voted to uphold the level-3 decision; trustees signaled stipends will remain a topic in upcoming budgets.
Where the public record shows motions and seconds, the meeting transcript records the speaking turn (e.g., "Trustee (Speaker 23)") that moved or seconded the motion; votes were taken by raised hands and recorded in the minutes as "motion passed" without roll-call tallies in the posted transcript.
