Bay City ISD board votes to decline SB 11–linked resolution
Summary
The Bay City ISD board voted 6–0 (one trustee absent) on Feb. 2, 2026, to not adopt a resolution tied to Senate Bill 11 (Tex. Educ. Code 25.0823). The motion was made by Board Member James Scardami and seconded by Mark West.
Chair Jill Westmoreland called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m. and the board moved into regular business early in the agenda.
A motion "was made to not adopt the resolution reflecting School Board intent to adopt a policy as provided by Senate Bill 11, Texas Education Code 25.0823." The motion was made by Board Member James Scardami and seconded by Mark West; the board recorded six yea votes (Kenneth Eaton, Lora Beth Robicheaux, Priscilla Robinson, James Scardami, Mark West, and Jill Westmoreland) with Trustee Trent Tinnin absent. The motion passed 6–0.
The item was presented on the consent/regular agenda as a discrete resolution referencing state statute; board discussion on the record did not produce a substitute motion to adopt. The action closes the matter for now, with no policy adoption tied to this agenda item at this meeting.
The board's recorded vote is reflected in the official minutes; the board did not direct staff to bring a revised resolution back at this meeting.
