Royal ISD board rescinds superintendent authority to award Gallagher high school contract
Summary
The Royal ISD Board of Trustees unanimously voted to rescind the superintendent's authority to award the high school project to Gallagher, citing a desire to complete procurement after Bond 2025 passed.
The Royal Independent School District Board of Trustees voted to rescind the superintendent's authority to award the district's new high school project to Gallagher. The motion, made by Elton Foster and seconded by Scott Hartman, passed unanimously with five votes in favor.
Board member Cori Vahalik told trustees the item was procedural rather than punitive: "the reason for this action was not a statement of dissatisfaction," she said, explaining the earlier award decision predated the passage of Bond 2025 and the board wanted procurement to occur after the bond passed. The motion record shows Elton Foster, Scott Hartman, Rose Jones, Traci Seward and Cori Vahalik voting "Yea."
