The Alamo Heights Board of Trustees voted on Nov. 14 to approve a set of course updates and to adopt the consent agenda, including accepting $87,245.17 in community donations.

Course approvals: Trustees voted to approve the course updates and new/continued sections as presented by staff. The courses described during the meeting included: professional communications (dual credit; ~102 students across two semester sections), a college transition dual‑credit course (open enrollment and ECHS; ~102 students across sections), AP precalculus (65 students in three sections), and Principles of Business, Marketing and Finance (55 students in two sections). Staff also indicated they would sunset a low‑enrollment Spanish-through-film-and-media elective and proposed new dual‑credit additions (college algebra aligned with algebra II and a fundamentals of visual art course) that require students to attempt or meet TSIA and apply to partner colleges as appropriate.

A trustee moved to approve the courses “as presented.” The motion was made and seconded on the record; trustees approved the motion by voice vote.

Consent agenda: The board approved the consent agenda in a subsequent motion, again by voice vote. The consent items were treated as routine and approved with a single motion; staff noted the district had received $87,245.17 in donations since the prior meeting.

How the votes were recorded at the meeting: Both motions were moved, seconded and approved by voice vote; the board chair called for “ayes” and recorded the motions as carried. The meeting minutes do not list line‑by‑line roll call tallies in the transcript excerpt; the motions were recorded as approved on the consent and course items during the business portion of the meeting.

What trustees discussed beforehand: Staff presented enrollment figures and explained how sections are organized (several listed course enrollments mix ECHS and open-enrollment students; staff clarified that two sections across two semesters represent four class periods). Trustees asked clarifying questions about section counts and the ECHS/open-enrollment split; staff supplied an approximate breakdown (98 ECHS students in a noted course) and confirmed some students in the listed sections are ECHS participants.

No contested roll-call votes were recorded in the meeting transcript for these items.
