Rice ISD board accepts 2024–2025 financial audit
Summary
Rice ISD trustees voted unanimously (5–0, two absent) to accept the district's 2024–2025 financial audit during a Dec. 17 special meeting after a brief public session and closed-session agenda items on personnel and safety.
The Rice ISD Board of Trustees voted to accept the district's 2024–2025 financial audit during a special meeting on Dec. 17, 2025.
Trustee Holly Ellington made the motion to accept the audit "I make a motion to accept the 2024-2025 financial audit report as presented," and Trustee Kim Hrnjak seconded the motion. The board recorded five yeas: Ellington, Jason Fisher, April Grant, Hrnjak and Shanna Lopez; Trustees Scott Black and Jason Blake were marked absent.
The action was taken as part of the meeting's Action/Discussion Items. The transcript does not include details of the auditor's presentation or substantive public comment; the motion language recorded in the minutes indicates the board accepted the audit "as presented." The board did not record any no votes or abstentions on the motion.
The meeting agenda also listed closed-session items on personnel (Pursuant to Texas Gov't Code Section 551.074) and security matters (Pursuant to Texas Gov't Code Section 551.089), but the public transcript contains no additional detail about deliberations or outcomes from those closed sessions.
The board adjourned at 7:34 a.m. after taking the audit vote. Draft minutes show Jason Fisher signed as Board Secretary and Shanna Lopez as Board President.
