San Felipe‑del Rio CISD trustees approve MOUs for advocacy services, job‑description updates and personnel motions
Summary
During its April 30 special meeting the board unanimously approved two MOUs for advocacy services (Lone Star Consulting, $16,000; Andrade van de Pute, $22,000), ratified job‑description and FTE changes, and approved retirements, resignations and the appointment of Ana Lao Amezqua as early literacy curriculum coordinator.
The San Felipe‑del Rio CISD Board of Trustees approved several consent and action items at its special‑called meeting April 30 before moving into a budget workshop.
Under the consent agenda the board approved routine purchases including a Red Rover attendance system intended to replace the district’s ASOP attendance system and Bluebonnet math materials funded via grant tiers, after administration explained each purchase.
Administration recommended and the board approved two memoranda of understanding for advocacy services: Lone Star Consulting for federal advocacy ($16,000, General Fund) and Andrade van de Pute for state advocacy ($22,000). Gilbert Sanchez read the administration’s recommendations and explained that the city and county required separate MOUs; the motions passed unanimously.
Human Resources items on the agenda included approval of updated job descriptions and evaluation forms (for example, a newly created electrical maintenance/cafeteria equipment coordinator, updates to the child nutrition coordinator and food‑service supervisor job descriptions) and the conversion of a master electrician FTE into an electrical maintenance/cafeteria equipment coordinator FTE. The board approved those actions.
Following an executive session under the Texas Open Meetings Act in which personnel matters were discussed, the board reconvened in open session and unanimously approved the personnel report covering retirements, resignations and vacancies. The board also approved the recommendation to appoint Ana Lao Amezqua as early literacy curriculum coordinator in the curriculum and instruction department.
All motions recorded in the transcript were announced as carried unanimously; the transcript did not record individual roll‑call vote names when each motion passed. No members of the public were recorded as speaking during this meeting.
The meeting adjourned and the board immediately began a budget workshop where TASB presented the pay‑study findings and the district discussed plans to implement an enhanced Teacher Incentive/Retention allotment (TIA) scorecard system for principals and assistant principals.
