Public comment addressed systemic issues and challenges at Decker Middle School. The board took action on several personnel matters, including contract non-renewals and terminations.

This plan outlines Manor ISD's strategy to reduce the number of uncertified teachers district-wide in compliance with House Bill 2 (HB2). The core objectives include supporting current teachers in obtaining certification, strengthening recruitment pipelines, and implementing strategic staffing initiatives. Key strategies involve leveraging partnerships with Educator Preparation Programs and expanding the Student Residency Program and Grow Your Own Pathways. The plan aims for zero uncertified teachers in elementary foundational areas by the end of the 2025-2026 school year, zero in core content areas by 2026-2027, and full compliance with HB2 by the 2029-2030 school year.

The meeting commenced with compliance statements under the Open Meeting Act, followed by a quorum confirmation. A procedural request was made to move the Pledge of Allegiance later in the agenda to accommodate a student. Key discussions included reviewing and adopting the district's vision and mission statements. The board also handled consent agenda items 8.1 through 8.3. Action item 9.1 involved the consideration and adoption of a resolution nominating Fabian Martinez for the Travis County Appraisal District Board, which was subsequently approved. The board then recessed for a period to allow for networking, student pictures, and preparation for a strategic planning session, after which the session resumed with a consultant leading introductions and discussions related to strategic planning.
