Edinburg CISD trustees approve consent items, budget amendments and contracts; table legal contract extension
Summary
At the Aug. 11 board meeting trustees approved grouped consent items, authorized an RFP-based retail electric contract, approved a CTE budget amendment and accepted a motion to purchase computing devices; the board tabled a contract-extension item for general counsel and approved several personnel recommendations.
Edinburg CISD trustees used roll-call votes Aug. 11 to approve a series of consent and action items on the agenda.
The board approved the grouped consent agenda (items 8—17) by roll call. Trustees then approved a motion authorizing the superintendent to enter into an electronic contract with the highest-ranked retail electric provider identified in RFP 2096.
On budget items, trustees approved a general-fund budget amendment moving approximately $120,000 into the career and technical education allocation to purchase instructional materials for virtual instruction. The board also approved the allocation to pursue additional computing devices (see separate coverage) and a Wi-Fi-related agenda item tied to connectivity efforts.
Trustees moved to table approval of a contract extension for general counsel (O'Hanlon, Berreth & Castillo) for further discussion at a later meeting; the motion to table carried. In personnel business, administration recommended hires for several positions (curriculum assistant and elementary principal) and the board approved the employment recommendations; Robert Pena was recorded as abstaining on at least one personnel vote.
President Salinas said no action was taken while the board briefly met in closed session. The meeting adjourned following the remaining personnel approvals.
