Superintendent Dr. Sanchez and the CTE director framed the gift as an opportunity to place industry-standard tools in students' hands so they can train on the same equipment used by employers.

The board approved acceptance of the donation by voice vote (6-0). District staff said they will inventory the tools, incorporate them into the welding program and coordinate the donor's banner and potential public recognition at an event.

Sarah Ramirez, the district's special education director, shared an anonymized case with the board (parent permission obtained) of a student who had struggled in traditional classrooms and found success after entering the Restore program. Ramirez said the student, who had been in district special education since pre-K, began Restore at the start of the school year and quickly showed markedly improved behavior and engagement. Program staff used frequent data tracking; Ramirez reported the student reached a high percentage success rate on behavior goals, moved from a single class period back to half-day attendance, and was being prepared to return to full-day campus placement.

Ramirez credited Britney Moses (Restore program staff and earlier recipient of a mini grant noted earlier in the meeting) and her team for consistent implementation and daily staffing that supported the student's progress. The superintendent and special education director recommended trustees tour the Restore program and review data; they noted the program's goal is to return students to regular campuses with improved outcomes and to reduce long-term exclusionary placements.

No board vote was required; the presentation was informational. District staff encouraged board members to visit the program and indicated they expect the model to support more students who need behavioral and social-emotional interventions.","Plainview ISD special education director and superintendent detailed a student's progress after participation in the district's Restore program, citing behavioral tracking data and a phased return-to-campus plan.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6581483,"Superintendent outlines effects of Senate Bill 2 and state finance pressures on Plainview ISD budget",183,3380000,3563000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3124346-a8825555998dddc0874f87ebf5394eb5&start=3380&end=3563","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3124346-a8825555998dddc0874f87ebf5394eb5/thumbnail_3380000.jpg","/articles/6581483/Texas/Superintendent-outlines-effects-of-Senate-Bill-2-and-state-finance-pressures-on-Plainview-ISD-budget","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6581483-a0519dc2e8f01fcebc7d0cd7a3638840/orig.mp4?Expires=1771159376&Signature=WuHWvBmlKG865Wub6XyQQRD-xurLDTOJImHEP-sxFev93Bwv0mBMUT~VV-nRDMiIwNoRDsb4HBU7ywe5OIbcDSLlZeHEy~wQSj~kGGh6rV4r8NTF942DpXu80TK90zWT1Oag9LkhzT93s5DiBo0pn1~kOzVOg1h33pMy-2JsNHjYegfwm9vA1MYfcPFn64gvdh14J8Y-CMxHwnGhtoWXyq1ynkudIreDqv1NfQoCZw7b0flK-8-vy08ea7GpDfKlJCSN9dQrpG~5AMA5qvSR8zND71kE-IF1O1kOO0E0Qo2DpsZktrNMSovhcjob14W1hpHPk3QxhO1uWV1ggoD~yQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Superintendent Dr. Sanchez briefed the Plainview ISD Board of Trustees on April 24 about the district's fiscal outlook amid the 2025 legislative session and Senate Bill 2 provisions related to public-school finance and vouchers.

Dr. Sanchez said that 80% of Texas school districts declared deficit budgets last year and that Plainview ISD had a structural deficit of roughly $2 million in the prior year. He said the legislature was discussing funding changes and that the near-term commitment discussed in the session—described in the meeting as approximately $2 million for the district—would, if enacted as presented, roughly ‘break us even’ but would leave the district vulnerable to unexpected expenses. He described a recent $4.5 million deficit figure from last year and reiterated that flat per-student funding since 2019 has not kept pace with rising costs.

Dr. Sanchez also discussed the voucher components in Senate Bill 2. He summarized the draft structure described in the meeting: a private-school voucher amount he characterized as being “above $10,000 per student,” a homeschool voucher in the $2,000 range, while public-school funding in current formulas was described as approximately $360 per student in the district’s base allotment. He warned that a large portion of any legislative appropriation could be directed toward voucher components rather than raising the district's per-student funding level.

Board members asked clarifying questions about the district's structural deficit and timing; Dr. Sanchez said the district is waiting for templates and modeling guidance typically provided by associations (he referred to data from business official groups used for revenue projections) and that the governor's signature or legislative adjustments could still change outcomes. He recommended continued monitoring and the need to pursue cost-containment measures and contingency planning.

No board action was taken on Senate Bill 2 at the meeting; the discussion served as informational budgeting context for the board ahead of 2025–26 budget planning.","Superintendent Dr. Sanchez told the board that a structural deficit and proposed statewide voucher provisions in Senate Bill 2 shape the district's budget outlook; he said an estimated legislative commitment could roughly offset Plainview ISD's $2 million structural shortfall but noted continued fiscal risk.",{"_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},6581487,"Parents and students press Plainview ISD to start UIL wrestling program; superintendent outlines phased plan",896,3374000,4270000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3124346-a8825555998dddc0874f87ebf5394eb5&start=3374&end=4270","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3124346-a8825555998dddc0874f87ebf5394eb5/thumbnail_3374000.jpg","/articles/6581487/Texas/Parents-and-students-press-Plainview-ISD-to-start-UIL-wrestling-program-superintendent-outlines-phased-plan","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6581487-f3470e4a46d328bc5612c513e08825c5/orig.mp4?Expires=1771159376&Signature=OVSBs03y~JC5DsC3Tj0vllPdvE6SOLpYVnxf3cXDvO0mIoc9CAFEJav2KK~rBevp6UfR~m-xVd3jK4QLYlCP~ueN-74fNNEjBP8GaTG0yumMeX7T24zBW4aOCzsc~l48fXZomdGP8erfZIyoLfC573PWcNHn98wYdY-XyD7qkVz~M9ZdDRo8gjN-nUByssr1vShxiZX9ZL66LNrkyTAfnh8fX~WlqM0yr-kARLIx~n5~KVwMGDqY54VAf5o52qIhy~jZIMN90lKwaA-d599bHyObxBExETbqzxAaLbfLgxhuAT3xlJrO3Am3oNT5vYloe6bb6asyrC30rnjTE14F0g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Community members urged the Plainview ISD Board of Trustees on April 24 to accelerate plans to start a UIL-sanctioned wrestling program, saying local athletes already compete successfully in club tournaments and that community fundraising and coaching support are available.

A group of parents, boosters and student wrestlers addressed the board during citizen comments, pressing for a timeline to move from club competition to an official UIL program. Booster president Mona Veda said parents have fundraised and recruited donors and questioned why the program had not been advertised or advanced earlier. Several speakers described competitive results—students placing in state and regional tournaments—arguing Plainview has athletes ready to compete.

Superintendent Dr. Sanchez responded in his superintendent's report that establishing a UIL wrestling program is a multi-year process similar to Plainview's earlier rollout of soccer. He said the district needs a pipeline of students at elementary, intermediate and junior-high levels, a club competition period to grow participation, budgeted items (uniforms, mats, mouthguards), and a clear roster of who would wrestle at each level before applying to UIL. Dr. Sanchez said he had met with interested parents and community members and set an open meeting for the following Wednesday at 9 a.m. to begin planning steps, including milestones and budget considerations. He noted the district would need board approval for any budgetary items and suggested partnerships and tournament-hosting could provide fundraising opportunities; Chief DeLaGaza offered volunteer security support for hosting events.

Several speakers also addressed concerns about internal accountability and leadership. Adrian Borrego Navarette asked why responsibility for starting the program had not been clearly assigned to the athletic director and expressed concern about a coach reportedly discouraging student participation by saying the program 'didn't look promising.' Joseph Rios, head wrestling coach at Lubbock Cooper High School, described how Lubbock Cooper built its program from one interested student and modest resources and offered advice on budgeting and program development. Assistant coach Michael Mena described fundraising already done at Wayland Baptist University and offered scholarship-support connections.

Students spoke about the personal impact: sophomore Alani Navarrete and freshman Monica Diaz described wrestling as a pathway to confidence, discipline and scholarship opportunities and asked the board to allow the program to start sooner rather than later. Diaz said she qualified for a state tournament as an eighth grader and that delaying a UIL program would postpone opportunities for current students.

What the board approved at the same meeting were routine business items; no formal vote to start a UIL wrestling team was taken. Dr. Sanchez and district staff described next steps the district would take before submitting any application to UIL, emphasizing it is a phased effort requiring community volunteers, coaches, a sustainable budget and demonstrated student participation across grade levels.","Multiple community members—parents, coaches and students—urged the Plainview ISD board on April 24 to approve a high-school wrestling program sooner.

Board members approved each item by voice vote with a recorded outcome of 6-0 on every business motion taken in open session.

The board approved an out-of-state same-day field trip to Carlsbad Caverns for a small resource-class student group; an annual staff-development-minutes waiver to allow the district to bank 2,100 minutes for weather/emergency use; and the waiver application for the missed school day on March 14, 2025, when the district closed due to high winds. Trustees also ratified the district's required TEKS (Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills) certification for curriculum alignment.

Other routine business approved included a Skyward enterprise renewal (annual licensing), the district auditor selection for 2024–25, and the purchase of campus supplies for the 2025–26 budget year. The board voted to change the ASH program into a separate ASH High School ID for accountability purposes and accepted a donation of DeWalt tools valued at $9,936.46 for the CTE welding program.

Trustees also cleared two student- and staff-travel requests: approval to use district facilities for an informational trip planning meeting for a PHS student trip to Ireland in June 2027, and out-of-state travel for two BPA students to attend the BPA National Leadership Conference in Orlando, Florida (May 7–11).

The board accepted a $219,400 school-violence-prevention grant award to install bullet-resistant laminate in the education complex; the installation contract item for that work also passed. The board approved a consensus agenda including budget amendment work and accepted the second and final package(s) of professional contracts and administrative employment contracts for 2025–26 as discussed in executive session. Trustees also voted in open session to propose the nonrenewal of a term contract for one teacher and to terminate a probationary contract for another teacher; both personnel actions were moved and approved 6-0.
