The La Porte Independent School District Board of Trustees approved a multi-item consent agenda at its Feb. 11, 2025 regular meeting, voting 6–0 to adopt a package that included meeting minutes, principals' reports for 13 campuses, financial and human resources reports, the quarterly investment report, and a resolution (No. 2025-02) to pay employees for missed workdays due to Winter Storm Enzo.
Board President Danny Hanks reviewed items the administration recommended be handled on consent. Trustee Russell Schoppe made the motion to approve the consent agenda and Trustee Mason Peres seconded; the motion passed unanimously. The consent agenda specifically listed Regular Board Meeting minutes (Jan. 14, 2025), a Called Board Workshop (Feb. 4, 2025), principals' reports (Early Childhood Center through Viola DeWalt High School), financial reports for December 2024, human resources and quarterly investment reports, a budget amendment, employment of professional staff, and authorization for the superintendent or designee to execute a depository services contract, among other items.
Many individual approvals were bundled into the single vote; the minutes record the board's action but do not provide deliberation on each consent item in this transcript excerpt. The board noted that Trustee Dee Anne Thomson was absent for the meeting.
The board meeting was held in the District's Administration Building at 1002 San Jacinto St., La Porte, and was livestreamed online.
