HISD sees progress toward early-learning goals | News

At Travis Fanning’s first regular meeting as Huntsville ISD superintendent, trustees heard that the district remains on track toward its early literacy and mathematics goals and approved $323,365 in roofing and technology purchases Thursday.

The Board of Trustees voted 6-0 to approve a 16-item consent agenda without discussion. Trustee Tracy Stoudt was absent due to travel. The package included two roofing projects, cybersecurity monitoring, career and technical education software and an election for two trustee positions.
