Board approves consent agenda, receives reports on purchasing fees, class sizes and conference updates
Summary
Trustees approved the consent agenda and heard informational reports: affirmation of purchasing cooperative fees for 2024–25, a class-size report noting one dual-language kindergarten class above ratio (mitigated by a full-time TA), and a recap of the TASB/TASA conference and legislative policy implications.
The Friendship ISD Board approved the consent agenda after a motion and second recorded in the minutes. "I move for approval of the consent agenda," a trustee stated during the meeting, and the board voted to carry the motion.
Staff also presented an affirmation report listing purchasing cooperative fees paid in the 2024–25 budget cycle (information only). Scott Sims provided an update on pre-K through 4th grade class-size norms and reported one classroom over the target ratio—the dual-language kindergarten at Little Bend was reported at 24:1 but has a full-time teaching assistant to mitigate the load. Trustees who attended the TASB/TASA conference summarized training takeaways and noted that recent state legislative changes will require updates to many local policies.
