Board applies for $90K grant
Award to help buy 3 new buses
By Robyn Wheeler
Monitor Staff Writer
MABANK–The Mabank ISD Board of Trustees met March 23 to
discuss and vote on several major proposals.
The board unanimously voted to renew the financial advisory
agreement with Southwest Securities to save $3.5 M. The bond
will be executed in May and authorizes the issuance of
unlimited tax refunding bonds and the execution of a bond
purchase contract and an escrow agreement.
Members also unanimously voted for the North Central Texas
Council of Governments Clean School Bus Grant Application.
The $90,000 bus grant would fund 50 percent of the purchase
of three new buses for 2012-13. Mabank ISD has not purchased
new buses in more than three years. Five of the current
buses have been refurbished or repowered. The cost to
repower one bus is about $12,000.
In other business, board members heard:
• the first day of STAAR testing was March 23, and no
problems were incurred.
• The May board meeting has been moved from Monday, May 28
to Tuesday, May 22 due to the Memorial Day holiday weekend.
• three donations have been received, one for $500 and two
for $20.
• the employee awards banquet is set for 6:30 p.m. Thursday,
April 26 at the high school commons area.
