Summary
Trustees approved the 2025-26 school calendar, adopted Construction Manager at Risk delivery for high school civil work, approved out-of-state travel for a Plasmacam workshop, accepted a final CKH invoice adjustment of $5,400 (totaling $137,350), and approved 226 employment contracts. Enrollment rose by 137 to 3,028.
The Ferris Independent School District Board of Trustees approved several operational and personnel items at its Feb. 18 meeting, including the 2025-2026 school calendar, construction delivery method for high school civil work, an out-of-state professional-development trip, an additional contract payment, and multiple personnel contracts.
Trustee Misty Koerkenmeier moved to approve the 2025-2026 calendar; the motion carried unanimously. The minutes list the district's enrollment as of Feb. 18, 2025 at 3,028 students, an increase of 137 from the same date in 2024 (2,891).
The board approved using Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) as the delivery method for high school civil work; the motion was moved by Trustee Misty Koerkenmeier and seconded by Trustee Nancy Salmon. The board approved out-of-state travel for a Learn Plasmacam 2025 workshop after a motion by Trustee Nick Hamm and second by Trustee Richard Sasser.
Minutes record approval to pay an additional $5,400 on a final invoice for CKH, raising the initial contract from $131,950 to $137,350 because a training session exceeded the original maximum allowed. The minutes indicate approval but the mover/second attribution in that line is garbled.
In closed session the board approved employment actions, including approval of 226 contracts; Trustee Misty Koerkenmeier moved to approve 226 contracts and Trustee Nick Hamm seconded; the motion carried unanimously.
