The Orange Grove ISD Board approved purchase of Dual Credit career and technical education equipment from Tech Labs for $220,000, contingent upon receipt of a Texas Workforce Commission Dual Credit and Technical Education – Equipment Only Grant.
The motion to approve the purchase was moved by Nicole Raska and seconded by Randall Eulenfeld; the minutes record the purchase as contingent on grant funding and the motion carried unanimously (motion 6M). The board also approved a Del Mar College Dual Credit Memorandum of Understanding for 2025–2026 (motion 6V) and an Adjunct Faculty Agreement with Jim Wells County and Nueces County Extension offices (motion 6W), actions recorded as approved without dissent.
These actions together establish the contractual and equipment steps needed to expand dual-credit and CTE offerings, subject to grant award.
