Board approves interim superintendent agreement, accepts LIFT grant and several routine motions
Summary
The Uvalde CISD Board approved the interim superintendent agreement and housing agreement, accepted a LIFT grant (over $800,000), approved TEEX instructional-material verification, passed budget amendment No. 4, accepted personnel resignations, and approved the consent agenda; several other stipend items were tabled or voted 'no action.'
The Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District Board of Trustees took several formal actions after reconvening from closed session.
The board approved an interim superintendent agreement and an associated housing agreement by voice vote after a motion and second. Trustees then voted to take no action on an item proposing supplemental stipend compensation for administrators tasked with additional responsibilities arising from unexpected resignations.
On personnel, the board accepted resignations as presented and later approved Budget Amendment No. 4, described by the director of finance as a reallocation of appropriations with no net financial impact. The board also approved the district's annual TEEX instructional-material verification (one supplemental addition: Math Catalyst for MTSS/resource students) and accepted participation in a LIFT (Lasso 4) grant the district was awarded (district staff said the award exceeds $800,000 and must be accepted by April 1 to avoid losing funds; trustees discussed vendor selection and timing for naming a provider before first disbursement).
Finally, the board approved the consent agenda (items a–m) and adjourned at 8:45 p.m.
