Waller ISD board approves consent agenda, curriculum adoption and facility contracts
Summary
The Waller ISD Board of Trustees on May 14 approved a multi‑item consent agenda, adopted HMH Into Literature for English I and II, updated eligibility standards for co‑curricular activities, approved projects using remaining 2019 bond funds, and selected VLK Architects for stadium support facilities. All motions passed 5‑0.
The Waller Independent School District Board of Trustees met May 14 and unanimously approved a slate of actions including a consent agenda of routine items, adoption of new English curriculum, updates to co‑curricular eligibility standards, and several construction procurement steps.
President William Warren called for the motion on the consent agenda, which covered tax refunds; budget amendments; Teacher Incentive Allotment (TIA) expenditures; multiple RFP catalog proposals (special education, first aid, athletics, maintenance, awards, library, instructional and office supplies); an MOU with the Harris County Juvenile Board for the 2026–2027 Juvenile Justice Alternative Education Program; disposition of adopted instructional materials; minutes of April 9, 2026; the Waller ISD Long‑Range Facility Plan 2026; and consideration of a Harris County WCID No. 159 impact fee for McReavy Elementary. Vice President Jeff Flukinger moved approval and Trustee David Kaminski seconded; the motion carried 5‑0‑0 (Secretary Ronald Campbell and Trustee Maria Herrera absent).
Among separately recorded motions, the board approved a proposed update to eligibility standards for co‑curricular and extracurricular activities presented by Secondary Director of Curriculum and Instruction Traci Underwood and Athletic Director NeKisha Durham; the change "aims to strengthen academic accountability" and align district standards with Academic Eligibility UIL‑exempt courses while maintaining flexibility. The board also approved the adoption of HMH Into Literature for English I and English II for the 2026–2027 school year to expend Instructional Materials Allotment (IMA) funds needed for additional licenses due to enrollment growth. Trustee Brittany Neel moved both curriculum‑related motions; Vice President Flukinger seconded, and each passed 5‑0.
Construction and procurement items approved included the board’s acceptance of a list of projects to expend remaining 2019 bond funds, the selection of VLK Architects for restrooms, storage, and concessions at the Waller High School Athletic Field and Track Complex, and approval of the Job Order Contract delivery method for that project. The board delegated authority to the superintendent or designee to negotiate and execute the architect contract and to select a cooperative Job Order Contractor; the board noted that any individual Job Order exceeding $500,000 will be brought to the board for ratification. Vice President Flukinger and other trustees moved and seconded these motions; each carried 5‑0.
The meeting reconvened from closed session at 6:32 p.m., included multiple informational presentations, and adjourned at 10:32 p.m.
