CFBISD board unanimously approves consent agenda including renewal of Laserfiche and arming designated Level III staff
Summary
The Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD Board of Trustees voted 7-0 to approve a multi-item consent agenda on March 5, 2026, including renewal of the Laserfiche document management system, election services contracts, Chromebook purchases and the district's plan to arm designated Level III safety and security staff to comply with House Bill 3.
The Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD Board of Trustees approved a consent agenda on March 5, 2026, by a 7-0 vote. A motion by Randy Schackmann, seconded by Paul Gilmore, carried to approve routine items including travel approvals, personnel and financial reports, and several procurement actions.
The consent items listed in the motion included: renewal of the Laserfiche document management system; election services contracts with Dallas and Denton counties; purchase of Chromebooks; exhaust fan replacements; furniture for R. L. Turner High School renovations; and authorization to arm designated CFBISD Level III certified safety and security staff “to Comply with House Bill 3 and CFBISD's Adopted Good Cause Exception.” The motion passed with the votes recorded as Cassandra Hatfield — yes; Marjorie Barnes — yes; Carolyn Benavides — yes; Ileana Garza-Rojas — yes; Paul Gilmore — yes; Kim Brady — yes; Randy Schackmann — yes.
The vote bundled multiple operational and procurement matters into a single consent approval, a common practice for routine items the board determines require no separate discussion. Several items in the consent list (for example, the arming authorization and the Laserfiche renewal) have policy and safety implications that the district will implement through staff processes and contracts moving forward.
