Business officials told trustees that an issue with the Skyward reporting system produced incorrect month-end figures for several funds; the vendor has been notified and the district provided trustees with the material elements that were verified (budget amendments, donation summaries and tax collection tallies). The district’s tax collections for the levy to date were presented; staff said January collections were slightly lower year-over-year but remain strong overall and that the district continues to collect past-due amounts regularly.

Superintendent Dr. Kristin Kraft and HR Director Nadine Espinosa reported on recruitment and retention efforts for auxiliary staff. Kraft told the board that after a fall pay adjustment of $1.25 per hour for hourly staff, the district’s custodial vacancies declined from 18 to zero. Espinosa described targeted recruiting at Workforce San Antonio, Workforce Kerrville and other local events, plus employee referrals, as key contributors to filling vacancies. Trustees discussed the potential use of employee referral bonuses as a recruitment tool.

The board later approved the budget amendments, donation report and tax collection report as presented. Administration said it will continue to work with Skyward to reconcile the January reporting issue and will bring corrected fund statements when available.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Boerne ISD Board of Trustees General Meeting February 24, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Business officials told trustees of a Skyward accounting/reporting issue affecting month-end reports, confirmed tax collections remain strong and highlighted HR successes that reduced custodial vacancies from 18 to near zero after a recent wage adjustment and targeted recruiting.","taxTitle","BOERNE ISD, School Districts, Texas","taxId",13520,"location","Texas","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":42,"_43":78,"_45":78,"_46":79,"_48":80,"_50":81,"_52":82,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":83,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":84,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6296153,"Board approves personnel report; new head coach and athletic coordinator introduced",1394000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2517621-b890e907ce565b70c96805c51ea26d51&start=1394&end=1394","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2517621-b890e907ce565b70c96805c51ea26d51/thumbnail_1394000.jpg","/articles/6296153/Texas/Board-approves-personnel-report-new-head-coach-and-athletic-coordinator-introduced","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6296153-857333ff8e6ca8aa8e349a0a1b99073f/orig.mp4?Expires=1771047751&Signature=TNl0AkDehZ9Pv2mSva0AFOk-NBYPkbIPpY87H7fkkwH1brGXdfJ6ol0g~xXDQHNFdVM561hc1e52-6ytF~MLvAv4EJJpxK43LHDbfDSUOTfc0rHG14Zt12wqOYp6VptnZt~3pymOaw8mlx99Q1cp334hFLdXi~ObA55iiI-fEx8poxca~IeeEs3FwOaWNvgRW37HZQUzZXAlO0IcqXSfVbIPIowu7wiLSExmDo6s6Y2IMzWc-1QacTpjEjSUjH5Wd5u4Vvwcja3aZ9vIFItPvARxauP3k2RK7~EBU~XyInix2JiATBmIksFYnzulvfGpigw89RMPKVJ~MH2i29LDKg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Boerne ISD Board of Trustees approved the personnel report discussed in closed session and formally introduced a newly hired head coach and athletic coordinator for Boerne High School.

After the board returned from closed session, a trustee moved to approve the personnel report as discussed and the motion carried by voice vote. The board did not read a public roll-call tally during the motion but recorded the approval in the minutes.

The board then invited Brett Sawyer and his family to the dais. Coach Sawyer, who has lived in the district for seven years and whose wife teaches at Boerne, told trustees the hiring is a “dream come true” for his family and thanked district leaders for the opportunity. Trustees congratulated Sawyer and took photos.

The personnel report covered multiple hires, reassignments and resignations discussed in closed session; the board approved the package as a single motion. The district did not disclose in open session the personnel details that were deliberated in closed session beyond the public introduction of the new coach.","Trustees approved a personnel report following closed session and celebrated the hiring of Brett Sawyer as Boerne High School head coach and athletic coordinator.",{"_33":86,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":87,"_41":88,"_43":89,"_45":90,"_46":91,"_48":92,"_50":93,"_52":94,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":95,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":96,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6296158,"Boerne ISD adopts TAPR; district presents midyear diagnostic results and early literacy goals",900,5040000,5940000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2517621-b890e907ce565b70c96805c51ea26d51&start=5040&end=5940","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2517621-b890e907ce565b70c96805c51ea26d51/thumbnail_5040000.jpg","/articles/6296158/Texas/Boerne-ISD-adopts-TAPR-district-presents-midyear-diagnostic-results-and-early-literacy-goals","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6296158-f6338caa29d17b75ce021c46fdb0a6fb/orig.mp4?Expires=1771047751&Signature=UsoFtI90iymWuUkeKEmKPUuQ6MwM5w5KGCEO1RCaSBbnP2x13dSXr2N7VatwIN5vMZf0vGmSiSDHREpx-jeASjq3ooGWCEzrv6WGKuMOnEXgAQ22XxziIDypSp7xolhltdTnpmolKPh6LOoQnjD0P2NSKmvlIfYKVB8PEINHbrl8FEyFpY6E5ZAn02kBNIAoGgmDian-Y6uVvuLkIbbVb7oCJ1xWvhf82EqECVzjaNVl9VVkeLz1OfUPLGPebJGYv6ZmirR3CoBhICV5K9rLySB1ZMHtO-t-innU484u-lFY~g3elsYrPY2ewKEVcKjbkRECr9QdNFzG6zDD3qwjuw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Trustees on Feb. 24 opened and closed a public hearing and approved Boerne ISD’s Texas Academic Performance Report (TAPR) for the 2023–24 school year, then heard a midyear academic progress report from the district’s instructional staff.

Larissa Flores, the district’s assessment and accountability leader, presented the TAPR material required under Texas Education Code and summarized campus- and district-level STAAR and demographic data for the 2023–24 reporting year. The TAPR report noted 10,910 recorded students for 2023–24, demographic percentages by subgroup, graduation and CCMR metrics, and linked district financial and campus improvement information. The district will post the TAPR on its website and make paper copies available at the district office and campuses.

The board then heard midyear diagnostic and universal screener results for reading and math. Flores said the district uses DIBELS/CIRCLE for pre‑K, mCLASS by Amplify for K–2 reading and NWEA MAP for K–5 math. She reported the district’s midyear percent of K–2 students at or above benchmark stood at about 73.3 percent for both reading and math; the district’s local goal is to raise early childhood proficiency from 79% to 80% by May 2025.

Flores and trustees discussed factors that affect midyear numbers, including that the middle-of-year math screener assesses all standards (some standards may not yet have been taught) and that new enrollments can depress health-and-wellness indicators in pre‑K. Trustees noted gains in Istation tier distribution (a higher share in Tier 1 and lower in Tier 2/3), and Flores said instructional coaches and district calibration work have supported progress.

After the presentation, a trustee moved and the board approved the TAPR and the required public hearing record. Trustees asked administration to continue work on instructional calibration, to monitor bilingual/ELL results carefully, and to post TAPR materials and related goal documentation as required by statute.","Trustees held a public hearing and adopted the district’s Texas Academic Performance Report for 2023–24 and heard midyear academic diagnostic results showing midyear K–2 benchmark rates around 73.3% and district targets for end-of-year improvement.",{"_33":98,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":99,"_41":100,"_43":101,"_45":102,"_46":103,"_48":104,"_50":105,"_52":106,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":107,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":108,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6296163,"Boerne ISD rezones Collection at Boerne to Voss Middle and Champion High to preserve alignment and capacity",810,6210000,7020000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2517621-b890e907ce565b70c96805c51ea26d51&start=6210&end=7020","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2517621-b890e907ce565b70c96805c51ea26d51/thumbnail_6210000.jpg","/articles/6296163/Texas/Boerne-ISD-rezones-Collection-at-Boerne-to-Voss-Middle-and-Champion-High-to-preserve-alignment-and-capacity","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6296163-c4f5c56ca491a2e93eae5bfa40d8e2d1/orig.mp4?Expires=1771047751&Signature=lZmESxIc8ZYXI-vyF3-TVYPAyTrr-Wpq0oDv3rvjGpLS4qXOGs6TCcS5Ry9mu9w73fUnzNQZXQkOfqnuQk4JNgjajYgdo1YBHIETHVktNcOxqA2ecmHW5dHc9Dp5d2kD0R0-TtqduLVijxWy67UqmunIad3dD~3wBGFVtzVR7veFooQF6qE42tKuYu4gWMzZU1qInUDF4HrMKJHNsHgVMCIyCyeHJ9qZMoeocZV8jl~RnWWcdmCTDFAFw8opdZrfu1e~Sp7GSXC3HaypdMMhAchI~q48v5LgLUaHzws9imfa5R5F99Pan9r8i7h0xd1DvLf18wbAKhOLxgAKa8cM3A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Boerne ISD Board of Trustees voted Feb. 24 to adjust secondary attendance boundaries for the Collection at Boerne development, rezoning the new duplex community to Voss Middle School and Champion High School.

Dr. O'Hare presented district demographic data showing that Voss Middle School has spare capacity while Boerne Middle School North and South are projected to reach capacity sooner. PASA, the district’s demographer, estimates the Collection at Boerne will contain 214 units and will generate about 0.29 students per unit; full buildout could add roughly 62 students districtwide, with an early-year impact of about 12 students when 40 units are completed.

Trustees said the rezoning improves alignment so students from Cibolo Creek Elementary who live in the new development will progress with campus peers to the same middle and high schools. Dr. O'Hare described the change as proactive: there are no current students in the development, and the rezoning is intended to give the developer and prospective residents accurate school assignments as homes are occupied.

A board member asked for additional demographer detail in future updates on slower-growth versus higher-growth projections; administration said PASA provides more detailed scenarios in the full report and staff will request supplemental modeling for planning. The motion to approve the boundary change passed with a standard majority (no roll-call tally was read aloud at the time of the meeting).","Trustees approved changing secondary attendance zones for the Collection at Boerne development, moving future residents from Boerne Middle School North to Voss Middle School and on to Champion High School; the board said the change improves feeder alignment and uses available capacity.",{"_33":110,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":111,"_41":112,"_43":113,"_45":114,"_46":115,"_48":116,"_50":117,"_52":118,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":119,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":120,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6296168,"Boerne ISD asks Kendall County to finalize Corley Road widening; board adopts resolution",1171,6749000,7920000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2517621-b890e907ce565b70c96805c51ea26d51&start=6749&end=7920","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2517621-b890e907ce565b70c96805c51ea26d51/thumbnail_6749000.jpg","/articles/6296168/Texas/Boerne-ISD-asks-Kendall-County-to-finalize-Corley-Road-widening-board-adopts-resolution","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6296168-2cbe3fecae42be3b288cc464393c1445/orig.mp4?Expires=1771047751&Signature=LPkOhxeorhvWs9Rgk-MCTAk7AWMq46lQpIJFwh6POjfftKTCVK29Zv4LtV-ZvAC2jB-WU2sgzTjqNq3RaQG-Azxa128-m3bcF1EMkW4hZvlVw34EpN~V~4PQwdfRifjl55dS9JeyBNFtyujzeUJ9zxVJjkHrW2PBAICySnLKrZdHfxC20IgMFXst-SRsOcN3ShPQ7b5yQxvs~ebPiY2WFrmxCiiCrh-5tII5sLMKEjbQr577KNvv3mybVQtbPA56nLkwyu2w8lhdOyQcHAhLseLjHUczyb5ERSjhxdm5XzuXbSO8IXtomWzzs1SQIV12ApzNOp0dVEsDhhtP30TdKg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Boerne ISD trustees on Feb. 24 adopted a resolution asking Kendall County to finalize planned widening of Corley Road behind Viola Wilson Elementary School, saying the work is necessary for bus routing, evacuation access and to avoid added costs to taxpayers.

The board’s resolution notes the district purchased land for Viola Wilson Elementary with a development agreement that anticipated the developer would construct the road improvements. Ramiro Guerrero, the district’s facilities/legal liaison, told trustees the county’s commissioners court failed to reach the unanimous vote needed to approve the widening on Jan. 14, delaying work the district and developer had expected to be completed on schedule.

The resolution says the developer was required, by a December 2021 development agreement, to construct specified improvements on Corley Road within a set timeframe. It also says the district dedicated right-of-way to Kendall County by instrument dated May 16, 2022, to enable the widening. The board said further delay risks cost overruns that would ultimately fall to county taxpayers and could create construction rework or other added expense if the project is not completed on the expected timeline.

Trustees discussed operational impacts the district already faces because the general contractor cannot tie campus work to the widened road. Guerrero said the contractor has demobilized in part and the district has asked the contractor for a credit for work it cannot complete until the road exists. Trustees and staff described the road as important to bus circulation at pickup and drop-off and as a secondary evacuation route.

The board amended the resolution to note the number of educational institutions it serves in Kendall County and then approved the resolution by recorded voice vote; trustees later said the final vote count on the motion was 7–0 in favor. The resolution urges Kendall County to “take immediate action” to finalize the Corley Road improvements and states that continued delay will cause unnecessary public cost.

The board requested continued collaboration with county officials and thanked county commissioners who voted in favor of the widening. The resolution does not impose a deadline beyond urging “immediate action.”","Boerne ISD trustees adopted a resolution urging Kendall County to complete a developer-funded widening of Corley Road behind Viola Wilson Elementary, saying delays risk added taxpayer expense and threaten planned bus and emergency access.","actionData","errors"]
