The Aledo ISD Board of Trustees met Sept. 21, 2015, with all seven trustees present. Stuard Elementary's student council presented. Superintendent Derek Citty set an Oct. 5 workshop on the Elementary No. 5 location, reported the sick leave bank's balance at 674 days, presented an enrollment update trending higher than anticipated with a table of each campus's functional capacity, and recognized Executive Director of Student Services and Safety Scott Kessel's appointment to a state task force. The board recognized a National Merit semifinalist. President Jay Stringer named Bobby J. Rigues and Steve Bartley co-chairs of the board operating procedures committee, Dr. David Tillman chair of Community Partners and Hoyt Harris chair of the education foundation committee. Harris reported foundation grants of $2,000 from Bell Helicopter and $10,000 from Elbit; Tillman reported the Community Partners at 38 members; Rigues reported on the North Texas Area Association of School Boards. Two residents spoke, one on the tax increase and teacher salaries, one on math scores and the waste transfer station.
The consent agenda, approved 7-0, included the School Health Advisory Council members. Denise Dugger reported 264 students served in summer school and 131 students in eight languages in the ESL program; Chief Financial Officer Earl Husfeld and VLK Architects gave a bond construction snapshot.
