Board delegates authority to superintendent to purchase attendance credits under TEC provisions
Summary
Trustees unanimously delegated contractual authority to the superintendent to obligate the district for the 2024–25 school year to purchase attendance credits and net Chapter 48 funding as allowed under Texas Education Code sections cited in the agenda.
The Kennedale ISD Board on Aug. 29 delegated to the superintendent contractual authority for the 2024–25 school year to obligate the district under Texas Education Code provisions for the purchase of attendance credits.
Trustee Maria Cruz‑Perez moved and Trustee Sean Glovier seconded the motion. The agenda text cites Texas Education Code (TEC) §11.1511(c)(4), TEC §48.257, TEC Chapter 49, Subchapters A and D, and rules adopted by the commissioner of education under TEC §49.006. The board voted unanimously to delegate the authority.
The delegation covers approving the Agreement for the Purchase of Attendance Credit (including netting Chapter 48 funding) but the transcript does not specify the number of credits, dollar amounts or districts/partners involved; those details are typically documented in the executed agreement and associated staff reports.
