School board meets Tuesday with a long agenda | Local News

During the open portion of Tuesday's meeting, trustees will review several financial reports, resolutions and presentations. They will make several important decisions about the future, including plans for the design of the Central Administration Building renovation project.

According to the agenda, Assistant Superintendent of Facilities Services Adam Rich will make a presentation and seek feedback from trustees on the design of the boardroom and associated spaces.

In another agenda item, Rich will present a recommendation to change the at-risk construction manager from American Constructors to Bartlett Cocke General Contractors for approval by the board.

Rich will also provide rankings for bids to install security films on all exterior glass doors and adjacent glass windows as required by the Texas Administrative Code.

In other business areas, trustees are expected to approve a list of qualified brokers and dealers authorized to conduct investment transactions with the county. In addition, they are expected to adopt a resolution adopting the district's investment policy.

The annual financial management report will be reviewed on Tuesday with data from the 2023-2024 fiscal year. This report has an “A” rating from the Financial Integrity Rating System of Texas and details the indicators used to evaluate the district.

Board members will also consider action regarding the list of evaluators for the Texas Teacher Evaluation and Support System.

In closed session, trustees will consider pending litigation in two cases involving student complaints, personnel matters and nominations to the Bell County Tax Appraisal District board.

If board members decide to take action, they will reconvene in public meeting to discuss it.

Board meetings are held in the conference room of the Administration Building at 200 NWS Young Drive.
