Alvin Independent School District trustees unanimously approved a series of routine governance measures Tuesday, voting 6–0 to accept a mutual‑aid agreement under House Bill 33, designate an alternate TEA submitter for district applications, update the board’s operating procedures and approve recommended personnel contracts.
The board first approved the consent agenda, which included approval of previous meeting minutes and the award of contractor/consultant proposals. Trustee Garson made the motion and Trustee Sweeny seconded; the chair announced the motion carried 6–0.
Trustees then approved an update to the board operating procedures that aligns with TASB policy updates (labeled update 01/26 in the meeting materials). Trustee Sweeney moved the update and Trustee Humbert seconded; the motion passed 6–0.
The board authorized Brent Shaw to serve as the superintendent’s alternate TEAL (Texas Education Agency login) submitter for the period 12/09/2025–12/09/2026, while noting the superintendent remains responsible for the alternate’s actions. That authorization was moved, seconded and approved 6–0.
