The Tallerassee Board of Trustees approved multiple consent-agenda items and accepted philanthropic donations during its meeting.
The presiding officer moved to approve consent-agenda items a through g with the exception of item b; trustees seconded the motion and the board voted to approve the items. Later in the meeting the board heard about community philanthropy: a Caldwell Arts Alliance donation of $5,000 to the Caldwell Arts Academy and a $79,992 award (presented with the Tyler ISD Foundation) intended for classroom innovation. A trustee moved to accept the gifts and the board approved the acceptance.
On curriculum and instruction, a trustee moved to approve four consent items on the condition that legal counsel complete and finalize the memorandum of understanding language so the district remains in compliance with Texas law; that motion was seconded and the board adopted it.
Board members publicly acknowledged partners including the Tyler Area Business Education Council, Chapel Hill ISD, Hawkins ISD, Whitehouse ISD, Winona, Tyler Junior College, UT Tyler, Hood Packaging and CHRISTUS Trinity Mother Frances Health System for their roles in grant and partnership activities. Trustees took no separate action to change policy or adopt new contracts during the meeting; the motions recorded on the consent agenda carried as presented.
