February 10, 2025 at 6:00 PM - Regular Meeting

Description:  A consent agenda is an item listed on the regular agenda that groups routine items under one agenda heading.  This allows the Board to take a unified motion and action on all routine items listed under the consent agenda instead of taking separate votes on each item.

Description:  Audience participation at a Board meeting is limited to the portion
of the meeting designated to receive public comment in accordance
with this policy. At all other times during a Board meeting, the
audience shall not enter into discussion or debate on matters being
considered by the Board, unless requested by the presiding officer.

At regular Board meetings, the Board shall permit public comment,
regardless of whether the topic is an item on the agenda posted
with notice of the meeting.

Individuals who wish to participate during the portion of the meeting
designated for public comment shall sign up with the presiding
officer or designee before the meeting begins as specified in the
Board’s procedures on public comment and shall indicate the
agenda item or topic on which they wish to address the Board.
Public comment shall occur at the beginning of the meeting.
Except as permitted by this policy and the Board’s procedures on
public comment, an individual’s comments to the Board shall not
exceed two(2) minutes per meeting.

Specific factual information or recitation of existing policy may be
furnished in response to inquiries, but the Board shall not deliberate
or decide regarding any subject that is not included on the
agenda posted with notice of the meeting.

Description:  Mrs. Wiley will have upcoming board training information at your stations.

Description:  (LEGAL) policies: Although (LEGAL) policies are not adopted by the board, TASB recommends that the board review them. Since review of the (LEGAL) policies may result in discussion, the agenda should, at a minimum, reference "(LEGAL) policies." If board members plan on discussing specific (LEGAL) policy changes, the relevant policy codes, titles, and subtitles should be listed on the agenda.

(LOCAL) policies: Board action on the (LOCAL) policies included in the update must occur within a properly posted, open meeting of the board.

The (LOCAL) policy changes — each addition, deletion, or replacement — should be listed in alphabetical order by policy code, title, and subtitle. The list on the following page is our compilation of that information, which may be copied and pasted into your meeting notice, staff communications of board action, and board meeting minutes.

Description:  Texas law requires public school food authorities (SFAs) with 50% or more of enrolled students eligible for free or reduced-price meals in the NSLP to operate a Summer Nutrition Program to provide students in need for a minimum of 30 calendar days during the summer months.

State law now requires the board of trustees to send written notice of the district's intention to request a waiver to the local SHAC. The notice must include an explanation of the district's reason for requesting a waiver.

QCISD is requesting the waiver because transportation for our students is an insurmountable obstacle. As there are no public transit providers located in this area, our students would not be able to get here to receive meals. The majority of our students do not live within walking distance.

It would be cost prohibitive for the district to supply transportation for the students, and there has been no evidence in the past that the parents/guardians would be able to transport their children to the feeding site. Due to this transportation issue and other factors, we have had very low or no participation in past attempts at providing summer meals. In fact, the reimbursement was not sufficient to cover the cost of the program.

QCISD Child Nutrition Department is requesting board approval of our intention to request the waiver and a written notice issued to the SHAC that includes our explanation.
 

Description:  It is recommended that the Board adopt a resolution, as required in DEA (LOCAL), to compensate employees for the closure due to hazardous road conditions on January 9th and January 10th. The state may offer waiver days for these emergency closings at a later date, but if not, the district has enough minutes to absorb the lost days. 

Description:  Administrative and Director Contracts recommendations are attached.
