At its Aug. 12 meeting, the Tom Bean ISD Board of Trustees voted 7-0 to adopt a resolution declaring a good-cause exemption from House Bill 3, citing both financial exigency and the deployment of armed guardians at each campus. Trustee Shawna Merriman made the motion and Trustee Scott Renfro seconded.
