At its Jan. 27 meeting, the Farmersville Unified School District board approved several contracts, memoranda of understanding and grant-related items that the superintendent and staff said support special services, student wellbeing and school operations.
Key approvals included ratification of an independent contract agreement with Pro Therapy for speech-language pathology services for the 2025–2026 school year, and approval of an agreement with Daybreak Mental Health to provide services to students. The board also approved a memorandum of understanding with Foodlink for a school garden at Freedom Elementary and accepted a Children and Youth Behavioral Health Initiative grant covering the retroactive period July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026; board members corrected a typographical date during discussion and confirmed the retroactive period before passing the item.
The board also approved a memorandum of understanding with the City of Farmersville for school resource officers for the 2025–2026 school year. John moved the item and Zamora seconded; trustees voted 4–0 to approve the MOU. Multiple personnel items and memoranda of understanding with chapters of the California School Employees Association were approved in a series of personnel agenda items, including reclassifications and job-description adjustments.
Staff said these agreements are intended to broaden student supports and maintain operations. Motions on the listed items were carried by voice vote; several items were accompanied by brief clarifying questions from trustees about contract language and dates.
