Board approves routine finance items: consent agenda, investment policy, mileage rate update
Summary
Trustees unanimously approved the consent agenda (minutes, bills and payroll), reaffirmed the investment policy with TexStar and Lone Star as providers, and adopted TEA's new mileage rate of 72.5 cents per mile.
The West Rusk County Consolidated ISD Board took several routine finance actions in a single block of business, approving the consent agenda, the district's investment policy and an updated mileage reimbursement rate.
Trustee Chris Pratt moved to approve the consent agenda, which included minutes from the Dec. 15, 2025 meeting and approval of bills, payroll and the investment report; the motion passed unanimously. Director of Business Operations Mindee Mata told trustees the investment policy had not changed and that the district maintains accounts with TexStar and Lone Star; Trustee Jeff Mason moved to approve the policy and the motion passed unanimously.
Mata also reported the Texas Education Agency issued a new mileage reimbursement rate in early January, changing the district rate "from 70 cents to 72.5 cents per mile." Trustee Matt Eastwood moved to adopt the updated rate; the board approved it unanimously. These actions were presented as standard business items and required no additional follow-up beyond routine reporting.
