Santa Rosa ISD trustees approve Subchapter C charter partnership and SB 1882 contract for Jo Nelson Middle School

Santa Rosa Independent School District trustees approved a package of partnership and contract items for Jo Nelson Middle School during a special meeting on Dec. 5, 2024. The consent agenda included approval of a Subchapter C charter partnership application with Region One Education Service Center, a Region One local campus partner application, an SB 1882 Performance Contract, and the district's Texas Partnerships Benefits Application related to SB 1882. The board recorded that the motion "carried 6-0."

Trustee Mark Chairez moved to approve the consent agenda; Vice‑President Juan M. Perez seconded the motion. The minutes show the vote as 6–0 in favor. The agenda item text lists the four approvals as separate components (items A–D) tied specifically to one middle school campus, identified in the agenda as Jo Nelson Middle School and slated to begin the 2025–26 school year if implemented. The transcript does not list individual roll-call votes by name; the approval is recorded as a single consent motion that passed.

The meeting materials and the board action in the consent agenda reference "SB 1882 Performance Contract" and related Texas Partnerships application documents as the basis for one of the approved items. The transcript does not include further detail about the terms of the contract, anticipated benefits, or implementation steps beyond the approvals recorded on the agenda. The board did not discuss or take public comment on the items at the meeting. The board president called the meeting to adjourn at approximately 6:07 p.m.
