Barbers Hill trustees approve consent agenda including service contracts and 4‑H extracurricular resolution
Summary
The Barbers Hill ISD Board approved a consent agenda Aug. 25 that ratified multiple service agreements (therapy and deaf education), adopted teacher-appraisal guidelines tied to T‑TESS, and approved a 4‑H extracurricular resolution allowing participation without attendance penalty.
The Barbers Hill Independent School District Board of Trustees approved a consent agenda at its Aug. 25 regular meeting that included minutes, service contracts and a resolution recognizing 4‑H as an extracurricular activity.
On a motion by trustee Benny May, seconded by Becky Tice, the board passed the consent package unanimously. The agenda included ratification of client service agreements with Soliant Health, LLC and Accountable School Staffing, Inc. for a certified physical therapy assistant and a music therapist and a shared‑services agreement with Tri‑County East Regional Day School for the Deaf to provide legally required services for Deaf or Hard‑of‑Hearing students for the 2025–26 school year.
The board also adopted Teacher Appraisal Guidelines for 2025–26 that direct Barbers Hill ISD to use the Texas Teacher Evaluation and Support System (T‑TESS), with specialized appraisal instruments for teachers in areas such as dyslexia and related services. The 4‑H resolution, approved as part of the same motion, permits students to be coded as present for funding purposes when they miss school to participate in approved 4‑H activities and authorizes adjunct faculty through Texas A&M AgriLife Extension to request academic eligibility for competitive events.
"This motion," the minutes record, "made by Benny May and seconded by Becky Tice, Passed."
