Summary
The board approved an interlocal agreement with Houston ISD for SHARS Medicaid support and heard that the Child Nutrition Department’s December auction of surplus equipment netted $22,814.90 (largest single sale $4,300 for a 1993 box truck).
The South San Antonio ISD Board of Trustees voted Jan. 26 to approve an interlocal agreement with Houston Independent School District to provide School Health and Related Services (SHARS) support for the district’s Medicaid reimbursement program.
CFO Stan Osborne told trustees that the district completed a procurement process for a vendor to support Medicaid reimbursement and that the most expeditious procurement method was to use an interlocal agreement already established with Houston ISD. Osborne said administration had updated the terms and timelines in the previously established interlocal agreement and recommended board approval.
Osborne also briefed the board on a live, online auction the Child Nutrition Department ran Dec. 1–8 to dispose of surplus kitchen equipment via GovDeals. The sale included ice machines, warming equipment, refrigerators and a 1993 box truck that netted $4,300; total auction proceeds were $22,814.90.
The board approved the interlocal agreement by roll-call vote. Trustees discussed procurement policy and staff confirmed the district followed board policy CI(local) on surplus disposition.
Next steps: with board approval the district will finalize the interlocal agreement and proceed with HISD-provided SHARS support for Medicaid reimbursement activities.
