Tom Bean ISD accepts classroom posters donation and HVAC unit for elementary cafeteria
Summary
Trustees accepted two donations: a set of Ten Commandments posters for classrooms and an HVAC unit donated by Kevin Cook for the elementary cafeteria. Both motions passed 5-0; minutes list the donor for the HVAC unit but not for the posters.
During the Aug. 11 meeting the board accepted two donations recorded in the minutes. Trustee Steve Rogers moved that the district accept "the 10 commandment posters for classroom across the district," a motion seconded by Beth Hale; it passed 5-0. The minutes do not record the donor name for that item.
Trustee Beth Hale moved to accept a donated HVAC unit from Kevin Cook for the elementary-school cafeteria; the motion was seconded by Trustee Shawna Merriman and passed 5-0. The minutes record Kevin Cook as the donor for the HVAC unit but do not state the unit’s value or installation schedule.
The board did not record public comment concerning the donations during the meeting. The board minutes show the donations were accepted as part of consent or action items but do not reference any legal review concerning display of religious materials in classrooms.
