The assessment will evaluate all district properties and buildings to produce a prioritized, long‑range facilities plan the district can use to budget and schedule repairs and upgrades. Superintendent Doctor Howard told trustees the district has never had a comprehensive assessment and called the study “well worth it for many years to come.”

Board members said the assessment is intended to move the district from a reactive maintenance posture to a proactive, prioritized plan. Trustee Julio Serra urged the board to make the review recurring: “I think it should be of every 10 year program where we go back and review every single building that we have,” he said. Trustee Andrew Riddle asked what the alternative would be; the board discussed continuing the current reactive approach and its limitations.

Trustees and staff described the scope: the vendor will inspect roughly 75 district‑owned buildings covering about 1,852,277 square feet, an average cost the board discussed as roughly $10 per square foot. Trustees and the superintendent said the assessment will include structural, safety and systems reviews and will identify items that could require additional future capital outlay.

Trustees said they expect the assessment to produce a prioritized list that can be phased into multi‑year budgeting to reduce the risk of last‑minute, high‑cost repairs. After discussion the board approved the service agreement on a 7‑0 vote.

The contract award will let the district plan major capital needs — such as roofing, HVAC, or structural repairs — with external engineering and architectural input rather than responding solely to requests from campuses.

Daisy Quintanilla, speaking on behalf of TexPrep parents and students, asked trustees to “reconsideration and reinstatement of financial assistance for district students as well as school transportation for the UTRGV TextPrep program that occurs during the summer.” She said the district had funded the program in prior years and that this year the district notified parents it would not provide school transportation and would only fund returning students, not new enrollees.

Quintanilla described program benefits presented in materials from Doctor Jesus Gonzales, TextPrep director: exposure to college life, TEA‑aligned curriculum, college and STEM preparation, leadership and academic gains. She said enrollment dropped from 88 students in 2023–24 to 36 in the current year and cautioned that removing transportation and new‑student funding could further reduce access for families who cannot provide transport.

Quintanilla asked the board to align actions with the district’s stated mission to “inspire, educate, and empower all students” and to restore support that enables students to pursue advanced STEM opportunities. She indicated Doctor Jesus Gonzales and program materials were available to trustees for further information.

No board action or vote on the program was recorded during the meeting.","A parent representing TexPrep asked the board to reinstate district funding and school transportation for the UTRGV TextPrep summer STEM program, saying cuts have reduced enrollment from 88 to 36 and that the program supports college readiness and career pathways.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6573206,"Sharyland ISD board approves Purple Star campus designation to support military‑connected students",267,5589000,5856000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3103393-3d9a32c4216ef4e5a0dc8f0f376b869f&start=5589&end=5856","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3103393-3d9a32c4216ef4e5a0dc8f0f376b869f/thumbnail_5589000.jpg","/articles/6573206/Texas/Sharyland-ISD-board-approves-Purple-Star-campus-designation-to-support-militaryconnected-students","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6573206-a5161213394f6e26925b3ae3209d58da/orig.mp4?Expires=1770524711&Signature=CACuYVJUI5MQlUr8YXsxQ0xkKlNArp3elwyi9EOiKAaePvRJuphmx-K9Mb4RL7HeSnWZPLyUzWq2HFwikRFmf4f~ooNAszyPFMDNtw2sxyj0eitZgvtXJLF7Llh2QMne0Yo-1O1vQwc-GILy-WYWxjX8YxB0G25gILxHskErx6DmUGFNDLr2FDnZDCXKVTn1a~cJAHngwrAdSSgeRz18Q2YtNgtl8besmvWKpIyhzuvhA1VAXzH00t5FCg6Ayto95ZzYqVSRtrcNIxbKcZlrZXXWDdWsBxsqNMqFD6luHTAPzbbs8xanLvpfe1Mp4-PX-EzeSWX5xtvxB0K~F3v7dQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The SHARYLAND ISD Board of Trustees unanimously approved a resolution to identify a Purple Star campus designation and to take steps to expand support for military‑connected students districtwide.

Assistant principal Andres Benitez told trustees the initiative will add peer support programs, academic support and a campus point of contact for military families. “Military families are highly mobile and so, therefore, they experience transitions of schools, transitions of curricula, social environments,” Benitez said, arguing the district should provide targeted supports to help those students thrive.

Board discussion highlighted practical next steps. Trustee Doctor Noe Alaveda described a follow‑up phase to certify counselors to help eligible students access Chapter 35 military benefits and said the district will seek counselor certification so beneficiaries can access education benefits, possibly as early as during junior year for some programs. The board applauded that much of the work is already underway on Pioneer High School and said the resolution formalizes a district effort to expand supports to other campuses.

After discussion the board approved the resolution 7‑0. Trustees said the Purple Star designation will require modest procedural steps — staff training, a campus point of contact and student‑led peer efforts — and that the district will pursue certification steps to allow students to access Chapter 35 benefits when appropriate.
