Lake Worth ISD board approves calendar, administrative contracts and TEA waiver; several motions draw split votes
Summary
Trustees approved the 2025–26 school calendar and a TEA low-attendance waiver unanimously, renewed administrative/professional contracts (5–1), and passed consent items with a 4–2 vote.
At its Feb. 17 meeting the Lake Worth ISD Board approved several routine but consequential agenda items: the district’s proposed 2025–26 school calendar (motion by Cristina Gallagher; passed 6–0) and a TEA low-attendance waiver application (motion by Sonja Norman; passed 6–0). Trustees also approved renewal of administrative/professional contracts for 2025–26; that motion was recorded as passing with five ayes (Tooke, Gallagher, Velazquez, Norman and Burt) and one nay (Thomas).
The consent agenda—covering prior meeting minutes, financial statements, budget amendments, purchase orders over $25,000 and a Tarleton State University MOU regarding a Distinguished High School Partnership Program—was approved with a 4–2 vote (Tooke, Gallagher, Velazquez and Norman aye; Thomas and Burt nay). The transcript does not provide dollar amounts for the noted purchase orders over $25,000 or the budget amendments listed in the consent items.
