Pittsburg ISD trustees approve routine policies, personnel and safety measures in consent votes

The Pittsburg ISD Board of Trustees met July 28 and approved a series of routine items by unanimous recorded votes (Yea 5, Nay 0, Absent 2). Board President Greg Miller called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m.; the session included a public forum comment, district updates and an information item on insurance and handbooks.

Motions recorded in the public minutes showed repeated language: “I make a motion to approve…” followed by the specific item, with most motions made by Vernon Rowe and seconded by Lawrence Cleveland or Mario Willis. Among items approved were the consent agenda (minutes and financial reports), the district’s recommended insurance for 2025–26, LOCAL Policy Manual Update 125 recommended by TASB Policy Services, and revisions to EFB (Local) policy on library materials. The board also set upcoming meetings: August 18 (budget workshop at 5:30 p.m.; regular meeting at 6 p.m.) and August 25 (budget adoption meeting at 6 p.m.).

Several personnel and operational approvals were recorded: the Student Code of Conduct for 2025–26; naming Callie Zoeller and Lou Ann Rollins as adjunct faculty members for Pittsburg ISD; approval of the Region 8 service agreement pricing and letter of intent for 2025–26; and facility/equipment approvals including a generator for the Primary campus and a dishwasher for the Elementary/Intermediate campus. The board convened a closed session under Texas Government Code sections cited in the agenda for personnel and security matters, returning to adjourn the public meeting at 8:29 p.m.
