The board also authorized the Superintendent and the Assistant Superintendent of Finance and Operations to process endof- year internal budget transfers and amendments for the 2023-24 school year.

The board approved the interlocal participation agreement with Central Texas Purchasing Alliance, which is a bidding platform. The cost is $150 per year.
