La Porte ISD board approves Memorandum of Understanding with Texas Tech University on 4-3 vote
Summary
After discussion, the La Porte ISD Board approved a Memorandum of Understanding with Texas Tech University by a 4-3 vote; the minutes record the names of trustees voting for and against but do not detail MOU terms.
The La Porte ISD Board considered a Memorandum of Understanding with Texas Tech University and approved the item after discussion on May 12. Trustee Russell Schoppe moved to approve the MOU and Trustee Karen Wheeler-Hall seconded; the motion passed 4-3.
The minutes record the aye votes from Melissa Crutcher, Danny Hanks, Russell Schoppe and Karen Wheeler-Hall and the nay votes from Jeff Martin, Mason Peres and Dee Anne Thomson. The agenda lists the MOU as item M; the minutes do not include the substantive terms of the MOU, so the board’s formal approval is recorded without the contract text or funding specifics in the public minutes.
Board members who opposed the motion appear in the record by name; no amendment or substitute motion is recorded. The vote outcome places the MOU among the few split decisions in the evening’s proceedings.
