Wharton ISD trustees table residency-verification discussion, request attorney input
Summary
Trustees discussed accusations about members' district residency, reviewed TEA guidance, and voted unanimously to table a verification policy while requesting the board attorney to advise at a special meeting.
Trustees discussed procedures to verify trustees' residency after members said the board has faced past and current accusations questioning trustees' district residency. President Garland Novosad summarized guidance and statutes collected by Nicole Snow from the Texas Education Agency and Region 3 Support and listed acceptable types of proof to accommodate different trustee circumstances.
Curtis Evans requested the board attorney be present to provide legal direction; Superintendent Oduwole confirmed counsel will be requested for an upcoming special meeting. Lisa Morton-Perez moved to table the item and Garland Novosad seconded; the motion to table passed unanimously, 7-0. The minutes record that the board took no final action on verification procedures and will seek attorney guidance before returning to the item.
