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

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.

 

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.

Various reports from campuses and departments are attached.

Mr. Phillip Hamilton has served on the Board of Trustees since May of 2020.  He has decided not to return after this term.  He will be presented with a plaque depicting his service years.  We thank him for his dedication to Queen City ISD for the last 6 years.

Bulldog Brews continues to be a valuable learning experience for our students by providing meaningful, hands-on job training in food service, money handling, and customer service. Through their work in the coffee shop, students are building practical skills that will benefit them in future employment settings while also gaining confidence and independence. One of their favorite parts of the experience is sampling and learning about the different coffee options, and over the past two years, many of our students have become coffee connoisseurs. This year, we also introduced Bulldog Brews Students of the Week, which has been a great success and has created another positive way to connect with and recognize students across campus. With the addition of more staff next year, we look forward to expanding Bulldog Brews by making more frequent visits to other campuses and branching out into deliveries to local businesses. We are incredibly thankful for the continued support of our district staff, which helps make this opportunity possible for our students.

The Board is required by Board Policy to review the investment report on a quarterly basis.  This is information only with no action required.

Our Local Wellness Policy FFA (Local) states that we must have a Local Wellness Plan to implement the District's nutrition guidelines and wellness goals.  The District is also required to comply with federal requirements for evaluating the policy and wellness plan. 

The district is required to engage a qualified auditor to perform an annual audit of school financial and related activities.  Wilf and Henderson has performed these services for the district for the last 8 years, and at this time, we are not aware of any other local audit firms engaging new school clients.  We have been pleased with Wilf and Henderson and believe they provide a thorough audit.

Removal of two maintenance trucks from the District Fleet.

Truck #106 - 1996 Dodge Ram 1500
Truck #109 - 1988 Chevrolet 1500

Both vehicles currently have several mechanical issues.  After reviewing their condition, the estimated cost to repair these trucks would exceed their current market value.

Due to the extent of repairs needed and the age of the vehicles, it would not be financially practical for the district to invest in repairing them. Additionally, their condition makes them unsuitable for auction, as their value is extremely minimal.

For these reasons, Mr. Simon is requesting approval to remove both vehicles from the fleet and dispose of them through a salvage/junk process.
 

Pursuant to TEC §25.081 Districts may request a waiver that allows the district to train staff on various educational strategies designed to improve student performance in lieu of a maximum of 2100 minutes of student instruction for districts that provide instructional minutes.
 

Mrs. Hawkins has agreed to return on a contract basis from April 9, 2026 until September 1, 2026 as needed.

Board President:

Under State Board of Education Rule, completing required continuing education each year of service is a basic obligation and expectation of any sitting board member.

As Board President (if absent, then replace with "Presiding Officer of the Board"), I am required to announce the name of each member who:

• Has completed the required continuing education;
• Has exceeded the required continuing education; and
• Is deficient in meeting the required continuing education.

The requirements for training are measured as of the first anniversary of the date of the trustee’s election or appointment or two-year anniversary of his or her previous training, as applicable.

There are eight training areas for board member continuing education:

1. Local District Orientation
2. Orientation to the Texas Education Code
3. Post-Legislative Update to the Texas Education Code
4. Team Building
5. Additional Continuing Education
6. Evaluating Student Academic Performance and Setting Goals
7. Identifying and Reporting Abuse, Trafficking, and Other Maltreatment of Children
8. School Safety

To the extent applicable to each board member, I will announce the completion or deficiency as to required training. For members who still have time remaining to complete required training, I will announce those board members who have scheduled timely training and those who have not yet scheduled the training. At the conclusion of this announcement, I will announce any board member’s training in excess of the continuing education requirements.

At this time, no training has been completed for the 26-27 school year.  There will be a new Trustee after May 2, we will all begin our trainings after that date.
