Van Alstyne ISD board delegates attendance-credit obligation authority to superintendent under Texas Education Code
Summary
The board voted 5-0 to delegate authority to obligate the district for attendance-credit purchases for 2024–2025 to the superintendent under Texas Education Code §11.1511(c)(4); the approval included the Agreement for the Purchase of Attendance Credit and a netting option tied to Chapter 48 funding.
At its Aug. 30, 2024 special meeting, the Van Alstyne ISD Board of Trustees voted to delegate to the superintendent, for the 2024–2025 school year, the board’s contractual authority to obligate the district under Texas Education Code §11.1511(c)(4) for the specific purpose of purchasing attendance credits. Mark Freeman made the motion; Beau Williams seconded, and the motion passed 5-0.
The motion as recorded in the minutes explicitly references TEC Chapter 49 (Subchapters A and D) and the rules adopted by the commissioner of education under TEC §49.006, and it states approval of an "Agreement for the Purchase of Attendance Credit" and an "Agreement for the Purchase of Attendance Credit (Netting Chapter 48 Funding)." The transcript text also contains the fragment "$48.257" in the same passage; that numeric string is unclear in format in the minutes and the record does not unambiguously specify a dollar amount. No public comments were made on this item.
