Gatesville ISD approves consent agenda, allocates $148,000 in deferred funds and certifies trustee election
Summary
At its regular meeting the Gatesville ISD board approved the consent agenda, authorized spending $148,000 in remaining deferred ‘golden pennies’ for HVAC and classroom projectors, approved the annual investment policy change, certified a trustee election and cast its appraisal-district votes for a named representative.
The Gatesville Independent School District board unanimously approved its consent agenda and took a series of administrative actions on routine finance and governance items at a regular meeting.
Board members first approved several standard items — minutes, financial statements, bills and payroll and year-to-date budget amendments — after a motion from a board member identified in the record as Charles and a second from Lord. Chair called for the vote and the motion passed unanimously.
The board then addressed remaining one-time funds from prior revenue labeled in the meeting as the district's ‘golden pennies.’ Finance staff said about $148,000 remained and recommended spending roughly $32,000 to complete HVAC upgrades and $116,000 to purchase projectors for elementary classrooms because existing projector models can no longer be serviced. A motion to expend the funds this year was moved by a board member identified as Linda and seconded by Lloyd; the board voted in favor.
The board also reviewed its annual investment policy. The only change highlighted was a requirement that distributors of investment pools register with the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board; the board approved the policy for the coming year with a routine vote.
On election matters, the certificate of election for the candidate named in the record (Cheyenne Kaiser) was read noting the general election held on 11/04/2025. An oath consistent with Texas requirements was recited and the board asked that the new trustee sign the certificate to make the election official; the board indicated a trustee absent from the meeting would be sworn at a later meeting.
Finally, the board discussed allocation of its 291 votes for the local appraisal district board. Board members named four candidates and then moved to give the district’s votes to Kevin George; the motion carried unanimously.
The meeting recessed into executive session at 6:13 p.m. for matters not disclosed on the public record.
