Board authorizes superintendent to seek attendance waiver for weather and illness
Summary
Trustees authorized the superintendent to apply for an attendance waiver to cover school cancellations related to weather and illness; the transcript does not specify the approving agency or timeline.
The Tom Bean ISD Board of Trustees on March 17, 2025 authorized the superintendent to apply for an attendance waiver for days when school is canceled due to weather or illness. Trustee Shawna Merriman moved the motion; Trustee Tom Sharp seconded. The motion carried 6 in favor, 0 opposed.
The meeting record states only that the superintendent was authorized to "apply for an attendance waiver for school cancelations related to weather and illness." The transcript does not specify to which state or regional agency the waiver application will be made or the requested waiver period; the superintendent's office will handle those details and return to the board as required.
Board members framed the action as a procedural step to protect district attendance reporting in weather- or illness-driven closure events; no vote tallies beyond the recorded 6–0 result were provided.
