Summary

A motion to authorize board members' registrations, hotel, and per diem for the TASB Summer Leadership Institute failed 2–4 after trustees debated available budget and per-member costs; two trustees voted in favor, two opposed, and two abstained.

The Wharton ISD Board considered using remaining budget funds to pay for trustee attendance at the TASB Summer Leadership Institute in San Antonio but did not approve the request.

Secretary-to-the-Superintendent Nicole Snow outlined projected per-member costs and remaining available budget. President Philip Henderson and Trustee Curtis Evans voted to authorize registrations, hotel and per diem; Trustees Millard Stains and Robert Vandagriff voted no, and Trustees Garland Novosad and Lisa Morton-Perez abstained. The motion failed 2–4, so trustees will not be reimbursed through the board’s remaining budget for the institute at this time.
