The board’s motion directed administration to implement the report’s recommendations and return to the board with any required follow‑up and implementation timelines.

Why it matters: intruder detection and campus security are operational priorities for school districts. Approval of the audit findings signals the board’s acceptance of the report and authorizes staff to act on any technical, training or capital recommendations contained in the document.

Action details: trustees discussed the audit in closed session and then voted in open session to approve the findings; the recorded vote was unanimous.

Board action took place after the items were discussed in closed session; trustees then returned to open session and made motions to approve the sales and related resolutions. The motion to approve the sale of the 1800 Winslow Road property carried 7–0; a separate motion to approve bids and sale of the Alameda Avenue properties also passed 7–0.

Why it matters: disposition of district real property can affect local land use, potential revenue to the district, and future capital planning. The board approved the sales as presented in closed session and directed staff to move forward with the transactional steps described in the resolutions.

Next steps: administration will proceed with final sale paperwork and return to the board with any closing documents and ministerial items for ratification as required.","Following closed‑session consideration, trustees unanimously authorized bids and sales for a property at 1800 Winslow Road and two parcels on Alameda Avenue (9009 Alameda and 9393 Alameda), approving related board resolutions.",{"_33":96,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":97,"_41":42,"_43":98,"_45":98,"_46":99,"_48":100,"_50":101,"_52":102,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":103,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":104,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6185733,"Ysleta ISD approves $49 million tax and revenue anticipation note to maintain payroll cash flow",6870000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5081244-a25963eba33c3401c77824ff2b40213e&start=6870&end=6870","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5081244-a25963eba33c3401c77824ff2b40213e/thumbnail_6870000.jpg","/articles/6185733/Texas/Ysleta-ISD-approves-49-million-tax-and-revenue-anticipation-note-to-maintain-payroll-cash-flow","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6185733-8062797ca229ea2d1d7a0a99f024bdc7/orig.mp4?Expires=1771148183&Signature=g6PBZRlW-eqxvqcpMLtWkU4bIza99gyY5r4ZukZkMofVJjdq6ddG58xPybg1O5WCOuLbBqguPBvw9t1Qj9CWv6x2oH-LN6cdTdShQ~cLilnjZlgWKE2AwanI9foIudZRKyDMwJcy588kHvR8h-NYqe3fZ6zmfXxjgtd6DFwHSd1EAFfmYNH2yhf-gSNZMqWE8WuprzSzNvhKV-oL1p7-c-3UDCrPBsS-qdkDS-PaNfC~1OnwqIFhRVyH5r1rFNllExhfuZZvb0DU3P6JLUTOOuwI8KnkO8Om~Q8yOmThAjfleA~kB1mWfXDOCb9nkywX1mAH6aTsTjV0v7sFKZl5Vw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Ysleta Independent School District board unanimously approved a resolution on June 25 to issue a tax and revenue anticipation note (TRAN) for $49 million to cover near‑term cash needs. Administration told trustees the note will provide funds to meet payroll and other obligations before certain state and other revenues arrive.

Chief Finance and Operations Officer Lindley Cambern told the board the district expects to receive funds imminently and will repay the note by February 2026; she said the expected interest cost on the instrument is roughly $1.2 million. When Trustee Chris Hernandez asked what would happen if the board did not approve the note, Cambern replied directly that the district could not make payroll in August without it: \"I can't make payroll in August.\" The board approved the motion by recorded vote, 7–0.

Why it matters: the TRAN is a short‑term borrowing tool that districts commonly use to manage intra‑year cash timing differences when revenues (in Ysleta’s case, state aid and certain property tax flows) arrive later in the fiscal cycle. Trustees emphasized the extraordinary nature of the request, noting it was the first such loan in at least a decade and that the need reflects depleted fund balance and cash reserves after multiple years of deficits and pandemic‑era budget pressures.

Action details: Trustee Catherine Lucero moved for adoption and the motion was seconded and approved unanimously. The administration said the borrowing and interest cost are reflected in the board’s budget discussions and will be repaid within the fiscal year.

Next steps: administration will execute the TRAN transaction and return to the board as required with any related paperwork and necessary budget amendments.","Trustees approved a $49 million anticipation note to cover near‑term cash needs; administration said interest will be about $1.2 million and repayment is planned by February 2026.",{"_33":106,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":107,"_41":108,"_43":109,"_45":110,"_46":111,"_48":112,"_50":113,"_52":114,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":115,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":116,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6185738,"Ysleta ISD adopts 2025–26 budget and compensation plan, board splits over hourly stipends",502,3470000,3972000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5081244-a25963eba33c3401c77824ff2b40213e&start=3470&end=3972","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5081244-a25963eba33c3401c77824ff2b40213e/thumbnail_3470000.jpg","/articles/6185738/Texas/Ysleta-ISD-adopts-202526-budget-and-compensation-plan-board-splits-over-hourly-stipends","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6185738-8f261cac1c30cca7c28aed0cad5890c2/orig.mp4?Expires=1771148183&Signature=dcXRyJqFHQdKS-4oCKIefEnbrI76GyNs~CpYNsHcp77nlOOnAo9~AQnDtOtwdUo3htakKHokYSuVcpQ31bn-tEliPxJ~1OOoFkcW-ZII0VqbV41diBvPZKdgeYynLJ3cglAev9g0TzHQcJRmFVb91v0Q2yRBD4LjoAJykZcAf5772EseKjZ0k80SXjX0aezCrS1ZEJXnS1swN13TPRCEk4h9ocMycSIVtKgUOupkCqpyB0myyfj6regVJBfDm01tHJ7ULv4KfZ7vr-nA0L9SiMFt7Oq~VVPjTK~sv-1V5ZRbU7kPAUem8aCQuyutH~Fnz0rgx2~XUVd75a5oo7O4BA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Ysleta Independent School District trustees voted 4–3 on June 25 to adopt the district’s 2025–26 budget and an accompanying compensation plan that incorporates state funds from House Bill 2 and uses district fund balance to cover a proposed $22.2 million deficit for the year.

The budget’s adoption follows a presentation from Chief Finance and Operations Officer Lindley Cambern detailing district revenues and expenditures, including certified and preliminary property values and the effect of House Bill 2 on pay schedules. Cambern told the board the district received certified property values of $7,808,000,000 and a preliminary appraisal figure of $8,986,000,000 — an increase she described as about 15.1 percent. She said the proposed budget includes $21.9 million in additional revenues from House Bill 2 and required related expenditures of $16.8 million, leaving a net proposed deficit of $22.2 million that the board will close in part by using fund balance.

Why it matters: the adopted plan places state-directed raises for eligible teachers and support staff onto the district salary schedules while also directing limited general-fund dollars toward hourly employees. That decision prompted substantial public comment and an extended trustee debate because many hourly employees and union leaders said projected insurance premium increases would negate much of the nominal raises.

Public speakers urged the board to prioritize lower‑paid hourly staff. Carmen Hernandez, vice president of the Ysleta Teachers Association, noted House Bill 2’s enactment and urged the board to consider non‑teacher staff: \"House Bill 2 was finally approved and signed into law on June 4.\" Rosie Pettus of West Texas Alliance pressed for representation in investigatory meetings and for higher tutoring and personal‑day allowances, saying, \"Representation during investigatory or disciplinary meetings is not just a courtesy. It is a fundamental safeguard of due process, fairness, and labor standards.\" Alejandro Garcia, a special education teacher, warned that proposed changes to health insurance could leave employees worse off: \"A raise that disappears into higher premiums and deductibles is not a raise, it's a loss.\"

Board debate centered on how to distribute limited local funds on top of the state pass‑throughs. Administration recommended placing teacher retention allotments (TRA) and support‑staff retention allotments (SSRA) onto salary schedules where state rules require them, giving classroom teachers differing base increases ($2,500 for teachers with three to fewer than five years of experience, $5,000 for those with five or more), and applying a 1.5 percent increase for hourly non‑exempt employees in combination with a one‑time lump sum for certain other groups. Trustees proposed alternatives during the meeting, including limiting a $500 one‑time stipend to lower‑paid hourly workers, or expanding stipends more broadly; trustees and staff ran on‑the‑record calculations in a recess to model options against the $900,000 of locally allocated funds discussed in the workshop.

Trustee Shane Haggerty proposed a compromise to give a 1.5 percent pay increase to hourly employees making more than $20 an hour and a $500 one‑time stipend to those making less, a plan modeled during the meeting that administration estimated would cost roughly $100,000–$200,000 more than the recommendation. Trustee Chris Hernandez pressed for a larger one‑time payment targeted at workers earning $15 an hour or less. Trustee Cruz Ochoa, Trustee Connie Woodruff and President Charlie Bustillos argued for adopting the administration recommendation to avoid accelerating the district’s structural deficit and risking future staffing and program cuts.

The board’s action: President Charlie Bustillos moved to adopt the proposed 2025–26 budget and compensation plan as presented; the motion carried 4–3. The motion document and administration presentation state the budget relies on using $22.2 million of fund balance in the general fund and includes a child‑nutrition use of fund balance of approximately $538,000; debt service is balanced without use of fund balance. Cambern told trustees the district expects a deficit of about $49 million in the current fiscal year and that the proposed budget would lower the projected year‑end unassigned fund balance to an estimated $11 million if followed as presented.

What’s next: trustees acknowledged the board may amend the budget later in the year — administration told the board it could bring amendments for consideration — but several trustees warned that adding recurring compensation beyond the proposed plan would deepen the structural deficit and lengthen the recovery period. Trustees also discussed the sunset risk: House Bill 2 allotments include a sunset provision currently scheduled for 06/30/2027, meaning the district’s long‑term obligations could change if the Legislature does not make the funding permanent.

Ending note: the adoption closes a contentious public hearing and workshop process. Administration emphasized controls on nonessential spending and said the district aims to stabilize its finances within three fiscal years if the plan is followed.","The Ysleta Independent School District board on June 25 adopted a $2025–26 budget that includes state pass-through raises under House Bill 2 and a compensation package that drew a 4–3 vote after heated debate over one‑time stipends versus permanent pay increases for hourly staff.","actionData","errors"]
