Houston ISD contracts worth $9 million are moving forward after a unanimous vote of approval by the school board Thursday.

The contracts range from cleaning supplies to moving services and gained approval without any discussion by HISD trustees.

Trustee Manuel Rodriguez had earlier voiced concern that many of the companies set to receive health and medical contracts were not local.

But, when looking at locations of all of the companies that received contracts, about two-thirds are either Houston- or Texas-based.
