School Board to look at itself

TONY FARKAS | TCNS Trinity ISD administration officials congratulate the Employees of the Month for February — Martha Farnsworth for professionals, Michelle Medlock for paraprofessionals and Craig Troutman for support.

TRINITY — The Trinity ISD School Board will take a look in the mirror to help itself improve.

At the regular meeting on March 1, which was moved from Feb. 22 because of winter weather, the board received evaluation forms to fill out over the coming weeks.

Superintendent John Kaufman said that the board will fill out the forms to be turned in by March 23, which he will then compile and present at the next board meeting.

The idea behind the evaluation is to use it as a training tool, Kaufman said.

In other business, the board:

• approved the filing for a waiver from the state for missed school days due to inclement weather;
• approved a certification of unopposed candidates for the 2021 school board election, as well as an order cancelling the election;
• approved moving the March School Board meeting to March 29; and
• approved paying employees for the days the district was closed during the weather disaster.
