Administrators walked trustees through principal items on the Dec. 9 regular meeting agenda during the Dec. 8 workshop, highlighting contracts, purchases and budget adjustments the board will be asked to approve.

Dr. Martha Salazar Zamora told trustees the board will consider reorganization (nominations and elections for board officers) and a consent agenda that includes policy recommendations and several procurement items.

Notable agenda items previewed include:

- A four‑year virtual reality career exploration contract for $114,500 to be paid from strategic plan funds.
- A ClearHope contract addendum to extend tier‑3 supplemental counseling through Dec. 31, 2028, for $400,000, funded in part by a Tomball Regional Health Foundation grant.
- Purchase of furniture and equipment for Tomball West High School from School Specialty for $5,914,586.87 (Omnia Partners cooperative; furniture budget not to exceed $6,000,000).
- Purchase of security cameras for Tomball West from Preferred Technologies LLC for $578,392.50 with a contingency of $75,442.50, using Bond 2021 funds.
- Approval of PBK's architectural fee (6.25%) for the Tomball High multi‑program activity center, estimated at $1,125,000 based on an $18,000,000 construction budget (Bond 2025 funds).
- Purchase of 30 standard and 10 special‑education buses from Longhorn Bus Sales for $6,504,800 (Bond 2025 funds); trustees noted Longhorn was not the lowest bid but cited service, deliverability and warranty support in vendor selection.
- Land purchases near Shaw Road: approximately 5.2503 acres for ~$2,172,679 and 2.2379 acres for ~$926,087.80, both proposed using Bond 2025 funds for future district facilities.
- Purchase of a UKG employee timekeeping system for $351,945 (Omnia Partners) to consolidate payroll clocks; administration clarified the purchase covers wall‑mounted badge‑tap clocks rather than paper punch systems.

Administrators noted backup information accompanies many items and offered to supply further details or follow‑up after trustee questions. Several trustees asked clarifying questions on vendor selection, contract scopes, and how projects are funded across bond series and general funds.

Most items will appear on the consent agenda or as considered items at the Dec. 9 regular meeting for formal board action.
