Sulphur Springs ISD board approves $5.08 million furniture purchase, $539,224 in security licensing and other consent items
Summary
At its Jan. 12 meeting the Sulphur Springs ISD Board unanimously approved multiple consent and bond‑funded purchases — including $5,077,218.61 for furniture and $539,224 for 10‑year security licensing — named an interim early‑childhood principal and approved the district's annual financial report.
The Sulphur Springs ISD Board of Trustees on Jan. 12 unanimously approved a slate of consent agenda items and several bond‑funded purchases, including a $5,077,218.61 furniture contract and a $539,224 purchase for 10‑year security licensing at two elementary campuses.
The actions came during the district's regular meeting at the Sulphur Springs ISD Board Room. Board President Craig Roberts presided over the session, which began at 6:00 p.m. and included recognitions for the Sulphur Springs High School Band.
Board members approved the consent agenda — covering minutes from three December 2025 meetings, tax credits and supplements for November 2025, delinquent tax collections for November 2025, financial statements and bills payable for November 2025, and the Head Start Community Assessment 2025‑2026 — on a 7‑0 vote after a motion by Secretary Adam Teer and a second by John Campbell.
Under separate motions the board:
- Approved Amanda Ridner as interim principal of Douglass Early Childhood Center (motion by Vice President Leesa Toliver; second by Darla Reed; vote 7‑0).
- Approved a 10‑year licensing purchase for school security equipment for Sulphur Springs Elementary (ES #1) and Rowena Johnson Elementary (ES #2) from Verkada and CNC Pro AV for $539,224, to be expended from 2024 Bond Funds (motion by Kati Adair; second by Leesa Toliver; vote 7‑0).
- Approved purchase of furniture for 2024 Bond Projects from Lone Star Furnishings for $5,077,218.61, to be expended from 2024 Bond Funds (motion reported by Adam Teer; vote 7‑0).
- Approved an order calling a school board election (motion by Leesa Toliver; second by Brian Kelly; vote 7‑0). The transcript does not specify the election date or additional details.
- Approved books purchased for campus libraries (motion by Brian Kelly; second by Darla Reed; vote 7‑0).
- Approved Policy Update 126 as presented (motion by Kati Adair; second by Leesa Toliver; vote 7‑0).
- Approved the district's Annual Financial and Compliance Report for the fiscal year ended Aug. 31, 2025 (motion by Leesa Toliver; second by Brian Kelly; vote 7‑0).
All motions recorded in the public minutes were unanimous; the transcript records a 7‑0 tally on each vote. The board members listed as present in the meeting minutes and therefore reflected in recorded votes were Craig Roberts (Board President), Leesa Toliver (Vice President), Adam Teer (Secretary), Kati Adair, John Campbell, Darla Reed and Brian Kelly.
Most of the dollar amounts for bond‑funded items will be paid from the district's 2024 bond fund, as noted on the agenda. The transcript does not provide further procurement details, vendor contract terms beyond purchase amounts, or a date for the called election.
Following the public agenda items the board convened an executive session; actions taken after that closed meeting are reported separately.
