Aledo ISD Board Room, 1008 Bailey Ranch Road

School board canvasses the May 9 election and the bond that passed, seats Stringer, Loftin and Tillman, re-elects its officers, and adopts the 2015-2018 strategic plan

Portable classrooms for McAnally Intermediate and the 2014-2015 audit engagement passed 7-0; the consent agenda drew one dissent.

The Aledo ISD Board of Trustees met May 18, 2015, with all seven trustees present. The Aledo Learning Center's principal presented its programs. The board canvassed the May 9 trustee election, Jay Stringer in Place 1, Jennifer Loftin in Place 2 and David Tillman in Place 3, and the May 9 bond election, which passed, each 6-0 before Loftin was sworn in; the board secretary then swore in all three. The board recognized state visual arts students, the varsity color guard, the horse judging team and McCall Elementary as a Title I high-progress school. After a closed session on officer qualifications, it elected Stringer president, David Davis vice president and Steve Bartley secretary, each 7-0.

Superintendent Derek Citty outlined the bond's next steps, Elementary School No. 5, safety and security, technology, buses and renovations, and set a June 3 meeting on the bus purchase. Stringer proposed recognizing Johnny Campbell's ten years of service in June. Dr. David Tillman reported the Community Partners' food drive collected 510 pounds; Hoyt Harris announced the foundation's June 12 golf tournament. Two residents spoke, on teacher salaries and on leadership.

The consent agenda, including a budget amendment related to bond refunding and Region 11 contracts, passed 7-1 as the minutes record it. The School Health Advisory Council gave its annual report. The board approved, each 7-0, the 2015-2018 strategic plan, the purchase or lease of portable classrooms for McAnally Intermediate, and the 2014-2015 audit engagement letter, and after an executive session approved a term contract, 7-0. The meeting adjourned at 9:45 p.m.
