Spurger ISD board adopts resolution supporting Tyler County 2026 Hazard Mitigation Plan
Summary
Spurger ISD's Board of Trustees unanimously adopted a resolution committing the district to the Tyler County 2026 Hazard Mitigation Plan, citing the Disaster Mitigation Act and noting the plan will be reviewed by TDEM and FEMA under 44 CFR § 201.6.
On March 19, 2026, the Spurger Independent School District Board of Trustees unanimously adopted a resolution endorsing the Tyler County 2026 Hazard Mitigation Plan. Board President Carroll Hatton moved to adopt the resolution; Cheryl Spangler seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.
The resolution cites the Federal Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 and the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford Act), and notes that the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 was amended in May 2023 to require an active hazard mitigation plan for federal grant funding eligibility. It also records that the plan was developed with a core team of county and participating sub‑jurisdictions and that stakeholders contributed through public outreach, surveys and a public review website. The resolution states that the board "resolves to execute the Actions in the Plan to the best of its ability."
Board materials included the full resolution language, which the board adopted as written and which indicates the plan may be subject to edits following review by the Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to ensure compliance with 44 CFR § 201.6. The resolution also references identification and prioritization of natural hazard risks and an inventory of critical facilities completed as part of plan preparation.
The action makes the district a participating sub‑jurisdiction that affirms its commitment to the plan and the annual review process required by federal guidance, a step the resolution ties to maintaining eligibility for certain federal mitigation grants. The transcript records the motion to adopt in SEG 001 and the full resolution text in SEG 002–SEG 003.
The board took no separate public vote count in transcript text beyond noting the motion "passed unanimously." No additional details about implementation steps or assigned staff follow in the provided segments.
