Board President West Beale called the meeting to order and noted the session had been posted under the Texas Open Meetings Act. The board administered the oath of office to newly elected trustees, with swearing words delivered in the form prescribed for Texas public officials: “I will faithfully execute the duties of the office of Perryton ISD board of trustees … and I will to the best of my ability reserve, protect, and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States and of this state. So help me God.”

The board then proceeded to elect officers for the coming year. West Beale was nominated and re-elected president by a 7-0 vote. The board nominated Bryce (spelling in the transcript varies between “Haley” and “Hale”) and elected him vice president by acclamation, 7-0. Jed Simons was elected secretary by acclamation, 7-0. The motions to close nominations and elect officers were carried without recorded dissension.

Trustees also assigned members to standing committees. The appraisal district representation was reassigned (Jeff and Bryce named to serve), and a three-member safety committee was confirmed with Shay, Jed and an additional trustee volunteering. The board noted the safety committee meets at least three times a year, works with law enforcement and the district safety director, approves standard operating procedures and sometimes meets in closed session for security-sensitive matters.

Before adjourning to a closed meeting, the board announced it would convene under the Texas Government Code provisions for personnel (§551.074), real property (§551.072) and attorney consultation (§551.071); no votes were taken while in closed session.

Votes at a glance: West Beale (president) — elected 7-0; Bryce (vice president) — elected by acclamation 7-0; Jed Simons (secretary) — elected by acclamation 7-0.

The board returned to open session after the posted closed-meeting items for any action resulting from executive discussion.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","PISD Board of Trustees Meeting: May 19, 2025 - Session A","oneSentenceSummary","Perryton Independent School District trustees held an organizational meeting in which newly elected members were sworn in, officers were elected and committee assignments were set.","taxTitle","PERRYTON ISD, School Districts, Texas","taxId",54460,"location","Texas","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6533423,"Perryton ISD finance report shows preliminary taxable values and lower-than-budget ADA",90,2362000,2452000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3767279-b521bfef29c14cfaa277e829a4b5ff68&start=2362&end=2452","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3767279-b521bfef29c14cfaa277e829a4b5ff68/thumbnail_2362000.jpg","/articles/6533423/Texas/Perryton-ISD-finance-report-shows-preliminary-taxable-values-and-lower-than-budget-ADA","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6533423-ae039b1ff603d450fa410bc59478e7e1/orig.mp4?Expires=1773743889&Signature=Jh-OXVOcHtc3Ujn8v8AZBzADJXY2u8Yi~q4D4naNY2fyjXOsF45OfCA7ry1IXkS5eIM50R2DYD5UO3guExoimOi0-Pu6Vd09l-7XitOKYX51~uvJ7ekSDFwNCV0snxn0hSbsnYbhwVK7fvu7xj8RjrzTaFIRyWGBi6rJ-AklIcF8-fofKuCSzgiVSMIecWHsbtqHgXuAeVnJ3lX-0PeaB5o08feQxBy8YtTnoQY-zkyYcKVA6KD968NgmJwGk85y-RexgTrVfagnMmUj5R7eJ4pM6spC~k74uJiRmj7x~a2LXO1k7mfZqsv7aXbFch6QcGh3gxzOpDyq7bndvVp8gw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Perryton ISD staff presented preliminary figures for the district’s taxable values and reported current average daily attendance (ADA) that is below the budgeted projection.

The business officer noted preliminary taxable values are not final and that district planning uses multiple scenarios: a five-year average projection would place taxable values around $1.16 billion; using the lowest of the past five years would place values near $1.10 billion; an upper bound scenario (about 10% higher than preliminary) would reach roughly $1.2 billion. Final certified values were expected on July 25, the staff member said.

On attendance, the district reported ADA around 1,650 as of the most recent Friday, approximately 100 students fewer than the number budgeted for the year. Staff said these numbers will inform budget planning for the coming year.

No formal tax-rate or budget adoption votes were taken at the meeting; staff framed the data as preparatory for upcoming budget decisions.","District staff presented preliminary taxable-value estimates for the coming fiscal year and reported average daily attendance about 100 students below budgeted figures.",{"_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},6533427,"Perryton ISD transportation reports new bus in service and delivery dates for additional vehicles",138,1881000,2019000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3767279-b521bfef29c14cfaa277e829a4b5ff68&start=1881&end=2019","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3767279-b521bfef29c14cfaa277e829a4b5ff68/thumbnail_1881000.jpg","/articles/6533427/Texas/Perryton-ISD-transportation-reports-new-bus-in-service-and-delivery-dates-for-additional-vehicles","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6533427-24ee93209ad5dbbca85f99b2a30d20cf/orig.mp4?Expires=1773743889&Signature=jlnpSJCCT97zgTN8H4ltnetkUIiBX99nadXOUh24FpQLdOPRkE2sp9Gt-QyvX0S6s-uI8~OVmsmv-HWCK4XNXAA28FCaIG22CJ4m9tH8wFuwBc7e8kW10QnA6tt-zJzROgs6XRqfvdyWUnhUheeFVDWZRResWd1jFcHnUCmRqadbUZjipMRVDAv7HeAOkp2pvj8nPgh5PXqsL0~YmHiHc-iIzo06BmZIJYeU9qwkpLz52sEkHN48XofLe8NeBsIF4iOxwLkPJaMof6zhLq06y7zIouYwFaoQpGvWcepgd5U~d6isJJUa0KR-nn-wmJgn3GFrtxrrfQm10pH~thotGQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Perryton ISD’s transportation update noted the district has one newly acquired vehicle in service and is awaiting additional deliveries that are expected near the start of the next school year.

The transportation director said the new “Ranger” bus has been used regularly, including out-of-town trips, and had accumulated nearly 5,000 miles. District staff said they have experienced some diagnostic codes that appear to be minor and that the bus will go to Amarillo for additional checks; otherwise it has been used during the summer for student transport.

On deliveries, the director reported an estimated date of Aug. 26 for one vehicle to arrive in Lubbock, after which additional processing is required before district deployment. The director said the remaining buses likely will not be delivered until the next school year and cautioned that the Aug. 26 date could slip a week or two.

Trustees and staff described the operational benefits of two recently purchased vans, which have reduced the need to send multiple vehicles and drivers for small-group travel and have been used nearly every day.

No votes were taken on transportation items; staff said they will continue to operate the vehicles they have and maintain older buses while awaiting new deliveries.","The district reported a newly acquired bus has been in use and accumulated nearly 5,000 miles; delivery for other ordered vehicles is expected around late August and may not arrive before the next school year.",{"_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},6533432,"Perryton ISD outlines gym upgrades, banner replacement and Ranger Roundup flooring; names new director of maintenance",553,1622000,2175000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3767279-b521bfef29c14cfaa277e829a4b5ff68&start=1622&end=2175","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3767279-b521bfef29c14cfaa277e829a4b5ff68/thumbnail_1622000.jpg","/articles/6533432/Texas/Perryton-ISD-outlines-gym-upgrades-banner-replacement-and-Ranger-Roundup-flooring-names-new-director-of-maintenance","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6533432-6c20ebd4dd72cdd4f2096b3d038e647b/orig.mp4?Expires=1773743889&Signature=STljKpmQJkusgANVM~unX5qKIDpWrQbtNt6NQRkOz9j3OdKbBda76FsgSWN-om22xMsGlnkJw9cl35K4ei4v-CSN0tOZJqzb2QLZyOPbDtqqavjDIOh4SWHsN3n5pe50I3K92amptXrbx7hNkd8ZrLujroFhHxVIAEikS~iga3WJoGcRUDKvSVhK4yxn5BYq0SoMhFwIsYBqY-0~Vxx-SIQyrKahIJsHIQ2ntPEvckNiZlR7ghO75kL0arThBIus9FgAj-RHCesV-AGNOyHL2~PAS~G2m8jr9O4i7tA5aND1UkTMhzgcv9bUezz~ZYJA8p-AJ97wbME-Mb3pjKEpLA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Perryton ISD trustees received multiple facilities and maintenance updates including athletic-facility improvements, banner replacement plans, new maintenance leadership and a scheduled flooring installation.

District leaders confirmed a new scoreboard will be installed in the high school gym and work to refresh the gym’s appearance is underway. The district removed one platform in the gym and plans to retain a single center platform with the scorers’ table at the front. Trustees discussed repainting tile at the bottom of the gym walls from a light beige to light gray to better match school colors.

Officials said banners and championship plaques that had been mounted directly on the gym wall were causing damage due to weight. The district intends to replace many of those older wall-mounted items with printed vinyl banners to preserve displays and reduce wall stress.

Ranger Roundup facility leaders reported a permanent flooring installation is scheduled for June 2. The board said the installation will be completed without interrupting normal business and that a temporary plastic covering had been used previously to limit tripping hazards.

Superintendent and trustees introduced Edgar Avila as the district’s new director of maintenance. Avila declined to offer additional details beyond confirming the scoreboard work and said he is ‘‘excited to build in some big shoes’’ and has already begun addressing facility needs.

Trustees also described broader maintenance scheduling and plans to refresh the gym before fall sports, including repainting and an updated visual layout for banners and wall displays.","Trustees heard updates on athletic-facility improvements including a new scoreboard and gym refresh, plans to replace banners with printed vinyl, a flooring installation at Ranger Roundup on June 2 and the appointment of Edgar Avila as director of maintenance.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6533436,"Perryton ISD honors FCCLA members, announces scholarships and lists honor graduates",700,615000,1315000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3767279-b521bfef29c14cfaa277e829a4b5ff68&start=615&end=1315","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3767279-b521bfef29c14cfaa277e829a4b5ff68/thumbnail_615000.jpg","/articles/6533436/Texas/Perryton-ISD-honors-FCCLA-members-announces-scholarships-and-lists-honor-graduates","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6533436-d204cca58313fccb30a32cbe9e221e7c/orig.mp4?Expires=1773743889&Signature=biz44POJP3zzaRN9mG~wEf-OKsJskhLVkMroGGZ1Mr-k5x4NIvFZ387P1NgSpiBIQnVKeDPzro7IWD-2n75VpWXUVwJ7UoU229ZjkDGBR0cDIIF-AkFr0sc9YbnLMwlmOdn2IKC3-pVyBS7yPiZBxFRAuq-s2wrqjKIBap~XirRBHeqK3WxE~73xRYGEDHdVAkmouIqXmG6-Nu~jXQZko-014EzFvo0n1oMT2IUOUTt0PtePVpwDAAHykUc7CdDyj25X1XVQiImMRNiWP-2dE3ey4Kg3lrDazRQdwOyefQ5mMkzoOCsJgdAZB4ZUhCW-dcpTpsQgkljrP0zSYbSGVQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Perryton Independent School District trustees recognized Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) students and other graduating seniors during the meeting's recognition segment.

Teacher sponsor Mrs. Tanner and several students described projects that advanced through region and state competition; some students qualified for national competition. Projects covered community outreach and skill-based work, including efforts to support children served by Panhandle Crisis Center, a fundraising effort that raised $400 for four families, STEM and science tutoring visits to elementary students, and a career-investigation project completed through a local hospital.

The board announced scholarship awards tied to competition placings: two students who placed at state in event management received $1,000 scholarships to Texas Tech University that the district accepted on their behalf, and another student earned a $500 scholarship for a cupcake-presentation competition, bringing that student’s total from that contest to $2,500. The board said it has accepted the scholarships for the students when they are seniors.

The trustees read a roll call of honor graduates and named Lindsey Valenzuela as valedictorian and Caden Rodriguez as salutatorian. The board also recognized teachers of the year for several campuses: Jimmy Lewis (Littiwark campus), Dari Harris (PHS), Kevin Black (junior high) and Jessica Shunegota (Wright campus). Two staff resignations were announced: Maritza Vargas (Williams nurse) and Lois Hamill (speech pathologist, special education).

Board members praised the work of sponsor teachers, bus drivers and volunteers who supported travel to competitions.

The recognition segment concluded with commendations for students advancing academically and for staff who led extracurricular programs.","Perryton ISD recognized FCCLA students who advanced to state and national competitions, announced scholarship awards tied to FCCLA placements, and named honor graduates, valedictorian and salutatorian for the year.","actionData","errors"]
