Board authorizes superintendent to file TEA waiver after March 5 tornado-related outage
Summary
Trustees gave the superintendent permission to file a waiver with the Texas Education Agency for the March 5, 2025 closure, which followed a loss of electricity after tornado winds; the motion carried unanimously.
The board voted to authorize the superintendent to file a waiver with the Texas Education Agency (TEA) to address the district closure on March 5, 2025. The minutes state the closure resulted from no electricity after tornado winds; the motion giving the superintendent permission to file the waiver was moved by Judy Bishop and seconded by Dorothy Franklin, and it carried unanimously.
Minutes do not include the superintendent’s name or details of the waiver request (for example, whether it will request a missed-day exemption or other relief). The board’s authorization enables staff to pursue the TEA process; any final determination will depend on TEA rules and staff follow-up.
