At its regular meeting, the Santa Fe ISD Board of Trustees recorded multiple formal actions and approvals, including personnel approvals from executive session, two tax‑payment refunds and a district copier contract.

From executive session the board approved the superintendent’s recommendations for employment assignments and for professional contracts for the 2025–26 school year; both motions carried unanimously on recorded hand/voice votes.

On agenda business the board approved two erroneous payment refunds processed under the Texas Property Tax Code, section 31.11: $2,431.35 to Gateway Mortgage and $7,006.55 to CoreLogic. The board also approved a district copier services agreement (continuation of a 36‑month lease) with Platinum Copiers/Sharp, with a monthly lease cost of $5,837.48 (annual $70,049.76) plus $3,000 monthly for unlimited black‑and‑white copies (annual $36,000) and a per‑color copy charge; staff described the not‑to‑exceed annual cost as $125,000.

Trustees approved the consent agenda — minutes, accounts payable, a budget amendment and proclamations — unanimously. The board also approved the previously described adoption and purchase of the Bluebonnet K–5 curriculum (reported separately).
