Summary
At the April 8 meeting the Westwood Heights Board approved the meeting agenda, accepted the treasurer's report, approved March 4 minutes, appointed Deborah Roberts as district representative (Lester Fights alternate) for the GISD budget hearing, and voted to enter closed session on a personnel matter.
The Westwood Heights Board of Education handled routine business and several formal motions during its April 8 public meeting.
Motions approved without recorded roll-call tallies included adoption of the meeting agenda (moved by Miss Roberts, supported by Miss Bransford), acceptance of the treasurer’s report (moved by Miss Roberts, supported by Miss Kim), and approval of the March 4, 2026 meeting minutes (moved by Miss Roberts, supported by Miss Kim). The treasurer reported district balances including a general fund balance of $632,855.24 and a total of $695,613.69 across funds.
On a separate action item, the board appointed Deborah Roberts as the district’s representative and Lester Fights as alternate to attend and cast Westwood Heights Schools’ vote at the GISD budget hearing scheduled for April 29, per requirements tied to Section 18 of the State School Aid Act. That motion was moved and seconded and carried.
Later in the meeting the board moved and approved a motion to meet in closed session under the Open Meetings Act to consider a personnel matter involving employee discipline at the request of the employee. The board announced it would convene the closed session at the end of the open meeting.
No formal votes on new policy items (for example, the FAFSA policy described earlier) were taken at this meeting.
