Trustees opened the January board meeting by recognizing students, coaches, teachers and community partners and asked the audience to remain for group photographs and remarks. The board highlighted a community book drive coordinated with a local Barnes & Noble and a coat donation from the Dallas Market Center, and staff reported a $59,000 rebate check from Buy Board participation.
Board staff presented the gifts report and asked trustees to accept donations received since the last meeting. Chair (board) called for a motion and second; the board approved acceptance of reported gifts unanimously. "This cooperative has returned more than 110000000 dollars since 2006," staff noted while summarizing the Buy Board participation and its benefits to the district. The board agreed to add the gifts to district records and thanked community donors.
