Trustees approve changes to Purchasing Policy CH (Local) after debate
Summary
The KILLEEN ISD Board approved revisions to Board Policy CH (Local) that respond to a 2018 threshold change for purchases; the motion passed 5-1 with Trustee Marvin Rainwater recorded as abstaining.
The KILLEEN ISD Board of Trustees on Sept. 9 approved proposed revisions to Board Policy CH (Local): Purchasing and Acquisition that trustees said were drafted to strengthen board control over large purchases.
Trustee Marvin Rainwater had asked for separate consideration of agenda item 2-G and raised concerns about decisions being made in board officer meetings outside full-board discussion. Trustees discussed a 2018 amendment that moved the district from board approval of aggregate purchases over $50,000 to approval of single-item purchases of $100,000 or more; the draft revisions respond to that change. Trustee Susan Jones moved to approve the revisions and Trustee Rodney Gilchrist seconded; the motion carried 5-1 with Mr. Rainwater abstaining and Trustee Tina Capito absent and not voting.
The minutes indicate trustees agreed revisions were intended to strengthen board oversight. The board recorded no further action beyond approving the policy revisions at the meeting.
