The Granbury ISD Board accepted budget amendments and acknowledged community donations totaling $26,364 at its Nov. 18 meeting.
The donations come from a range of local businesses and booster organizations, including Braces on the Brazos, Brookshire Grocery Co., Granbury Door and Window, Dance Dreams Academy, Lake Granbury Optimist Club and several athletic booster clubs. The board pulled item 11.c for clarification from Emmett Whitefield before approving it as part of the consent agenda.
During public comment, community members asked questions about budget amendments and transparency. Mr. Jim Brown requested a meeting with Emmett Whitefield about the budget changes; Mr. David Rogers raised a question about agenda item 13 and the HCAD budget; Mrs. Monica Brown urged removal of certain library books and asked that public comment allow non‑agenda items at regular meetings; Mrs. McDermott called for clearer function-level budget detail and financial transparency.
Board minutes state the motion accepting the listed consent items passed; specific line-item amendments were included in the board packet and available through Board Book, though the minutes note some attachments cannot be made public when restricted by law.
