The Gatesville ISD board recorded several formal actions during its meeting.

Consent agenda: The board approved routine business including minutes from the previous regular meeting, financial statements, bills, payrolls, budget amendments and periodic reports. A motion carried to accept the consent agenda.

Bus seat-belt feasibility (state law reporting): The board considered a required determination about whether purchasing a new fleet of buses equipped with three-point seat belts is financially feasible (the transcript references the state law as Senate Bill 546). Administration estimated roughly $150,000 per new bus and an approximate total of $3,150,000 to replace the fleet. Management recommended that the board declare the purchase not financially feasible at this time. A motion to declare it not financially feasible was made (recorded in the transcript as moved by Mister Maxwell and seconded by Lloyd) and the board voted in favor; staff will submit that determination and the meeting minutes to the state's data collection process.

Geotechnical services: The board approved a geotechnical proposal from Langerman Engineering (lump sum cited at $26,000) to perform soil testing and site investigations to support the junior-high renovation and new field house. The cost will be funded from bond-planning monies.

Library materials lists: Under the new statutory requirement referenced in the transcript (Senate Bill 13), listed library purchases were posted for 30 days for public comment. The board voted to approve the presented lists for primary, elementary, intermediate and high school purchases after noting there had been no public comments during the posting period.

Oath of office: Emily Winchell read the oath and was sworn in as a school board trustee during the meeting.

Where motions were recorded, the transcript noted the outcome as passed; detailed roll-call tallies with individual yes/no for each member were not provided for every item in the transcript.
