Summary
Vice President Sarah McMurrough told trustees that TASB's policy review is ongoing and relayed a legislative update on House Bill 2 Substitute, currently in the Senate Education Committee, which would reduce the basic allotment to $55 from $395; she asked the community to contact senators before the June 2 session end.
Vice President Sarah McMurrough provided the Governance Committee report on May 15 and updated trustees on two items: TASB's comprehensive policy review (ongoing) and a legislative update concerning House Bill 2 Substitute. McMurrough said the substitute is pending in the Senate Education Committee and reported that it proposes a reduced basic allotment of $55, down from the previously discussed $395.
She commended the board's ongoing advocacy and urged the community to contact their senators before the legislative session ends on June 2. The minutes record this as an informational update rather than an action item; no formal board resolution on the legislation was recorded in the minutes.
