Board approves pay for storm-closed days and employee buyback plan
Summary
Trustees approved paying employees for days missed during the Jan. 26–28 winter storm and approved an employee buyback plan; motions for both carried unanimously.
Trustees voted to pay all employees for days missed during the winter storm Jan. 26–28, 2026 after a motion by Trustee Joe Gomez and a second from Trustee Blake Ward. The motion carried with all present trustees voting in favor.
On the same agenda, Trustee Blake Ward moved to approve an employee buyback plan; Trustee Jeff Lawson seconded and the motion carried unanimously. The open transcript does not specify financial mechanics (cost, funding source, or whether buyback applies to leave balances), which would normally appear in supporting personnel or budget documents.
These actions were adopted in open session; the transcript records the motions and votes but omits detail on implementation timing and cost.
