What the record shows: Most routine procurement and contract actions passed unanimously (7–0), and the board approved multiple personnel and administrative appointments. Two executive‑leadership appointments produced recorded opposition from trustees (counts statutorily recorded on the floor as read). The transcript does not provide full roll‑call sheets for every contested vote; where the transcript states a numerical count during the meeting, those counts are summarized above and reproduced from the board record as spoken on the floor.

Detailed backup documents (bid tabulations, cooperative contract references, and personnel packets) were attached to the meeting agenda materials and referenced during discussion; the board’s formal contract awards and purchase orders will follow the district’s procurement review and posting procedures.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Alvin ISD Board Meeting - 5/13/25","oneSentenceSummary","The Alvin ISD Board of Trustees approved a set of consent, procurement and personnel motions May 19, 2025, including cooperative purchases for athletic surfaces, certification of trustee election returns, and administrative appointments.","taxTitle","ALVIN ISD, School Districts, Texas","taxId",12952,"location","Texas","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6556327,"Alvin ISD reviews schematic design for Elementary School No. 23 at Cantera Creek; move-in eyed for fall 2027",1184,1932000,3116000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3317433-cc2e804bc1d1a5e568a75f6a6a916dc8&start=1932&end=3116","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3317433-cc2e804bc1d1a5e568a75f6a6a916dc8/thumbnail_1932000.jpg","/articles/6556327/Texas/Alvin-ISD-reviews-schematic-design-for-Elementary-School-No-23-at-Cantera-Creek-move-in-eyed-for-fall-2027","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6556327-3f04e16d562075560f7d0aa185644fdc/orig.mp4?Expires=1770852078&Signature=XQWO0~GvCvT2RvH6HrRNMSGYfkzuVx3FVZXJRblHp1QhVX907egr5Pt7QHtZrajuX-XQQqt~p8eswGxqdrMv2QWqy6Mzd4vGCuxR4B7GK8fu2sYoDWhjJpmrEAG-bzTJ61z5OLPKSDtC2cul2TjbN3iDjnfuL-N~nVqGM72bdreCvJ-bLLEbUrgfYKpF60HA68HOnHKPzYUHi6R4NceQi2OiA1xR0eJdzxOYFkLIwHsDOiFK1pigwSqTD3PiMkuA5vNIpkn0XrhyB2mMm-eZDFr0csE2EgFgY24JaiIuMYW80XYhcHrKPn~ADA~NtR4TDY1e3XUQm0VeusU51QQPjQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Mark Jackson, principal at Stantec, presented the schematic design for Elementary School No. 23 at the Cantera Creek site during the May 19 Alvin ISD board meeting. Jackson said the design work is at the construction-document (CD) phase and the district plans to bid the project this summer under a competitive, design‑bid‑build process.

Jackson described the site as part of a master‑planned development bounded by Carson Road and Bullard, near new housing construction. The site is sized to accommodate the elementary campus and a future junior high; the plan calls for shared efficiencies such as extending parking and sharing a bus loop once the junior high is added.

On site circulation, Jackson said the design features a one‑way parent stacking lane that loops around the front entry and a separate one‑way bus loop on the east side. The cafeteria will serve as the main bus drop staging area and the design includes covered canopies for bus and parent drop‑offs.

The school’s internal layout places louder functions (gymnasium, cafeteria, music and art) on one side of a central corridor and academic classrooms and support spaces on the other. Jackson said the library will be a two‑story, open‑to‑below space. The plan includes multiple “flex” breakout zones near grade clusters and dedicated special‑education and pre‑K spaces with adjacent toilet facilities.

Jackson walked trustees through materials and color palettes devised to make the building bright and “fun” without relying on colored exterior materials that can age poorly; he said color will be used in interior glass accents, carpet and tile. Exterior design elements include two brick tones, an engineered stone accent and higher clerestory windows in the gym to admit natural light while preserving security.

Schedule and procurement: Jackson said the district is advancing CDs now, will advertise to bid this summer, and expects roughly 17 months of construction after award. Jackson described the project as a CSP (competitive sealed proposal) hard‑bid delivery (design‑bid‑build) rather than a construction manager‑at‑risk contract. The timeline shown to the board targets occupancy in fall 2027.

Trustees asked about natural light and window sill heights for safety; Jackson said the design uses high windows and solar tubes selectively and that the gym windows are set to a height to avoid unsupervised exterior access.

No board action was required at this presentation; Stantec will return as the district advances documents toward bidding and permitting.","Stantec Architects presented schematic design, site layout and a schedule for Elementary School No. 23 (Cantera Creek).

Grothe told the school board the foundation raised more than in past years and cited several successful events and initiatives that drove the total: a redesigned annual gala, a relocated community “turtle race” that increased participation to “over 800 runners, including a 50 from the previous year,” and a series of successful grant applications. “On behalf of the Alvin ISD Education Foundation, it is a great honor to present the 20 24, 20 5 donations to Alvin ISD in the amount of $529,599.52,” Grothe said during the presentation.

Board members and district staff praised the foundation’s response after a tornado damaged Walt Disney Elementary, saying the foundation quickly organized donations and distribution for affected families and staff. A board member credited Grothe and the foundation’s volunteers with coordinating a large relief effort during the holiday break and funneling donations through the foundation so school staff could access funds immediately.

Superintendent Nelson and other trustees thanked the foundation’s board and volunteers. Trustees noted the foundation’s support for CTE partnerships across the district and said every grant the foundation wrote this year was awarded.

The presentation included a public photo and formal recognition of Grothe. The board did not take an action on the donation during the meeting; the presentation served as a public report and formal handoff of the foundation’s annual check amount to the district.

The board continued its agenda after the presentation and moved on to the Stantec schematic design presentation for Elementary School No. 23.","The Alvin ISD Education Foundation presented the district with $529,599.52 for 2024–2025, the foundation’s executive director credited volunteers and sponsors and described high participation at recent fundraisers and grant awards.","actionData","errors"]
