At a glance: Arlington ISD trustees ratify appointments, approve audit and allocate TAD votes
Summary
On Nov. 20 the board ratified a closed‑session administrative appointment, approved the FY2025 annual comprehensive financial report (unmodified audit opinion) and voted to allocate all 160 district votes for the Tarrant Appraisal District election to Eric Crile; all motions carried unanimously.
The Arlington ISD Board of Trustees moved through several action items Nov. 20, voting unanimously on a set of administrative and financial matters.
Appointment ratification: Trustees ratified an administrative appointment discussed in closed session; President Chapa announced "All trustees voting in the affirmative. The motion carries." (recorded as ratification of the closed‑session hire).
Annual comprehensive financial report (audit): Auditors from Whitley Penn delivered the FY2025 audit and issued an unmodified opinion for the financial statements and a preliminary unmodified single‑audit opinion pending OMB supplement release. Key figures cited included government‑wide assets and deferred outflows of about $2.4 billion, cash and investments of roughly $805 million, capital assets net of depreciation of about $1.3 billion, receivables near $97 million and an ending net position of about $274 million. Trustees voted to approve the audit and the annual comprehensive financial report; minutes record unanimous approval.
Tarrant Appraisal District (TAD) Board votes: Administration recommended splitting the district's 160 votes (130 to Eric Scribe and 30 to Wendy Burgess). After trustee discussion and a motion, the board instead voted to allocate all 160 votes to candidate Eric Crile; the minutes record the motion passed with all trustees voting in the affirmative.
Consent agenda and next steps: Trustees approved the consent agenda unanimously and recessed to closed session citing Texas Government Code §§551.071–551.084 and §551.089.
Procedural note: Minutes record that the single‑audit report was preliminarily unmodified but withheld pending federal OMB compliance supplement release; the auditors indicated the single‑audit will be finalized and presented separately once that supplement is available.
