Summary

The Tom Bean Independent School District Board of Trustees voted July 14 to pay the cost of a telehealth service for employees as a district-provided benefit. The motion, made by Beth Hale and seconded by Shawna Merriman, passed with six yeas, zero opposed and one board member absent.
Board members discussed the item as part of a consent and business agenda that included staffing and compensation items. The approval places telehealth coverage under district-paid benefits for staff beginning in the 2025–26 plan year (effective date not specified in the record). The vote was recorded individually: Steve Rogers, Colten Miller, James Hamilton, Beth Hale, Shawna Merriman and Tom Sharp voted in favor.
The action was taken after reports from campus and district staff earlier in the meeting; no supplemental cost estimate or funding source for the telehealth benefit was provided in the transcript.
