Trustees approve consent agenda, table staff development allocation and accept gifts with recusal
Summary
The board approved a broad consent agenda including contract awards and budget reports, voted to table the professional development RFP (item 11C6) for re-estimation, and approved acceptance of gifts with Trustee Bennett recusing on that vote.
At the Nov. 18 meeting the Spring Branch ISD Board of Trustees approved the consent agenda covering multiple routine items: the budget status summary and amendments as of Oct. 31, 2024; the Facility Improvement Program monthly status with project budget changes; contract awards for Sherwood Elementary School replacement, Spring Woods Middle School mechanical/HVAC JOC, micro buses, playground installation and parts, an RFP for internet services, risk/insurance management services, and a consulting contract with Pope Consulting, LLC; grant awards; payroll and operating expenses for October 2024; tax overpayment refunds; and approval of minutes from recent meetings.
Trustee John Perez requested removal of item 11C6 (RFP for professional development) from the consent agenda for separate consideration. After Associate Superintendent for Finance Christine Porter provided the requested information, Trustee Perez moved to table item 11C6 to re-estimate the staff development allocation; the motion passed 7-0. The board later approved item 11G (acceptance of gifts) but recorded that Trustee Caroline H. Bennett recused herself from that vote; the approval passed 6-0 with the recusal noted.
The minutes record the list of contract awards included under the consent agenda but do not provide contract dollar amounts in the summary. Trustees voted collectively to approve the consent agenda with the noted exceptions and recusals.
