BURTON SCHOOL BOARD TO REVIEW ANNUAL ITEMS

  

The Burton School Board will meet Monday to address several yearly items as it prepares for the fast-approaching new school year.

The board will consider delegating contractual authority to obligate the school district to the superintendent, under Texas Education Code.

Superintendent Dr. Edna Kennedy said this annual agreement allows the district to accept transfers, which offsets the district’s Chapter 41 Recapture payments to the Texas Education Agency. In this item, the board will also consider approval to purchase attendance credits from the state to help offset overall costs.

Also in session, the board will consider an annual agreement to allow Washington County Extension Agents to serve as adjunct staff for students who participate in activities such as the Washington County Fair.

The board will also review the Texas Association of School Boards investment policy, and consider the administrative procedures manual. Dr. Kennedy said these are annual routine business transactions to reflect current dates and staff changes.

Board members will also hear financial reports, along with reports from the elementary and high school principals, superintendent, and athletic director.

The board will also meet in executive session to discuss a level three grievance appeal hearing regarding a parent complaint. Closed door discussion will also cover personnel and district safety and security.

The board will meet Monday evening at 6 p.m., in the Burton ISD Administration Office.
