Board approves attendance coding for students in TEA‑approved short‑term programs
Summary
Trustees unanimously adopted a superintendent‑recommended change to coding attendance for students attending Texas Education Agency (TEA)‑approved short‑term programs. The motion was moved by Trustee Leslie Mills and seconded by Trustee Marc Hofhiens.
The Port Aransas ISD Board of Trustees voted unanimously May 6 to accept the superintendent’s recommendation to approve coding attendance for students attending TEA‑approved short‑term programs. Trustee Leslie Mills made the motion and Trustee Marc Hofhiens seconded.
The minutes record that the motion "carried unanimously." The board did not attach implementation instructions or examples in the public minutes; the action was recorded as an approval of the coding change itself rather than as a detailed policy directive.
The minutes identify the recommendation as coming from the superintendent but do not specify which administrator will implement or which attendance codes (district code numbers or data fields) will be used. The record also does not say whether the change applies retroactively or only going forward.
Next steps likely include administrative coding updates to student information systems and internal staff guidance; those implementation steps were not specified in the minutes.
