Spring ISD board adopts TASB policy updates and approves consent agenda, asks procurement to review RFQ scoring
Loading...
Summary
The board adopted TASB Local Update 1-25 (second reading) for select policies and approved the consent agenda (with item 14.9 discussed separately); trustees asked procurement to bring scoring rubrics back for review so prior district experience and customer-satisfaction metrics can be scored separately.
The Spring ISD Board of Trustees on Jan. 13 adopted second-reading revisions to board policies in TASB Local Update 1-25 and approved the night's consent agenda after a brief pull of item 14.9 (annual RFQ for financial audit services) for discussion. Jason Schaefer introduced the second-reading package; Trustee Winford Adams Jr. moved adoption and the board approved the measures unanimously.
During consent-agenda consideration, Trustee Liz Jensen pulled item 14.9 to request a change to future procurement scoring: she asked that evaluators separate prior experience with the district from customer-satisfaction or reference-quality scoring so vendors are not advantaged simply for having worked with the district. Administration agreed to produce and return the procurement scoring rubric for board review at a later date.
After discussion the board approved item 14.9 (request for qualifications for annual financial audit services) by unanimous vote. The board also approved the consent agenda (excluding 14.9 during initial motion) and then re-added 14.9 for a separate vote; trustees agreed to have procurement return a matrix and rubric for review, consistent with the board's direction.
