Riviera ISD accepts booster-club mower and asks TASB to draft donation-policy language
Summary
Trustees accepted a mower donated by the Athletic Booster Club and agreed to ask TASB to draft policy language that would allow the superintendent to accept donations from an approved donor list without prior board approval for gifts under a specified threshold.
The Riviera ISD Board accepted a lawn mower donated by the district's Athletic Booster Club on July 23 and discussed revisions to the district donation policy.
Trustees noted that current local policy requires board approval for donations exceeding $1,000, even from pre-approved donors such as booster clubs or long-standing community partners. The board approved acceptance of the mower and directed staff to work with the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) to draft potential language that would allow the superintendent to accept donations from an approved donor list without prior board approval for specified donors or amounts. The formal Riviera ISD donation policy revision was postponed to a future meeting for consideration.
The motion to accept the donation was moved and seconded during the action-items portion of the meeting and passed unanimously among trustees present.
