Loading...
Summary
At a regular meeting, the SHELDON ISD Board of Trustees unanimously approved a $605,000 Chromebook purchase, accepted completed restroom renovations, adopted an amended District of Innovation plan, approved an investment policy and a $316,400 contract with the regional education service center, and determined budget constraints related to Senate Bill 546 school‑bus seat‑belt requirements.
The SHELDON ISD Board of Trustees unanimously approved a series of procurement, facilities and policy items during its regular meeting.
The board approved a cooperative-purchase agreement with CDW‑G to provide new Chromebooks and carts for the ninth- and tenth-grade campus for a price not to exceed $605,000. The motion was made by Kristen Williams White and was announced as passing unanimously.
Separately, the board accepted the certificate of final completion and surety from MPS Incorporated for restroom renovations at Royalwood and Monaghan elementary schools, declaring the work complete and directing that the certificate be attached to the minutes.
The board also accepted final completion and surety from Piranha Consulting Incorporated for a districtwide replacement/upgrade of classroom monitors and approved the contract as presented.
On policy matters, trustees adopted an amended District of Innovation plan and approved the district's stated investment policy and designated investment officers. Both motions were announced as passed unanimously.
The board approved a contract with the regional education service center for professional services, with the amount recorded in the meeting as $316,400 (the motion text included both $316,000 and $316,400 in the record). The contract was approved to be attached to the minutes.
On transportation, the board considered provisions tied to Senate Bill 546 related to school buses. The trustees voted to determine that the district's current budget does not allow for the purchase of new buses equipped with three‑point seat belts nor the retrofit of existing buses lacking three‑point belts; that determination was made by motion and recorded as passed unanimously.
All consent, procurement and contract motions were moved, seconded and announced by the presiding officer as passing unanimously; the board record notes two trustees absent at roll call (see provenance). No roll-call vote tally of individual Yes/No votes was read into the record for these items during the meeting beyond the unanimous announcement.
The board adjourned to closed session later in the meeting and reconvened to approve combined personnel items before adjourning for the night.
Next steps: several approved items were recorded to be attached to the minutes; the district will proceed with procurement and contract execution consistent with the approved motions.
