Valley View ISD trustees approve $120,032.56 in curriculum license renewals; pump replacement authorized

Valley View Independent School District trustees voted to approve administration-recommended purchases for curriculum licenses and instructional materials, totaling $120,032.56, during their meeting. The purchases listed were STEMScopes science curriculum licenses and materials for $40,498.82, Studies Weekly curriculum licenses and materials for $16,808.25, and McGraw Hill Wonders Maravillas instructional materials and licenses for $62,725.49; all three items were noted as funded from IMA funds. The board also authorized the interim superintendent to make necessary arrangements for a pump and motor skid replacement at the VV Early College Campus; no dollar amount for that facilities work was specified in the record.

The items were presented by Dr. Nancy Montemayor, Assistant Superintendent, and the authorization for facilities work was attributed to Dr. Monica Luna, Interim Superintendent. Trustee Jaime Gaona moved to approve the recommended expenses and Claudia Coronado seconded the motion; the board recorded a tally of five yes, zero no, and two absent and the motion passed. The meeting minutes state Claudia Coronado explicitly as "For"; the transcript lists per-member vote markers but the mapping of every 'For'/'Absent' marker to specific trustees is unclear in the provided segments, so the article reports the certified tally rather than assigning votes to individual trustees except where the record is explicit.
