The director also updated the board on a problem with a newly acquired Ranger vehicle. He said technicians were examining a suspected corroded relay panel and that factory diagnostic tests were underway. \"Apparently, they have to go through a bunch of factory tests to make sure that it's the panel,\" he said. The director and board members discussed possible warranty logistics and travel costs if district staff must deliver vehicles for service.

The transportation director said the district has identified that the manufacturer no longer produces a particular older bus model and that about 11 units will need eventual replacement; the director provided an estimated $1,200 per unit cost to address immediate needs on some units.

No formal board action was taken; the report served as an informational update and prompted questions about warranty compensation for travel and the potential for manufacturer replacement timelines.","The district's transportation update said two new buses were expected to arrive in Lubbock on Oct. 7 and Oct. 20 and that a recently delivered Ranger vehicle remains under warranty diagnosis because of a suspected corroded relay panel.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_46":93,"_48":94,"_50":95,"_52":96,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":97,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":98,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6468746,"Perryton ISD finance director reports lower revenue, reduced fund balance and food‑service shortfall",373,1996000,2369000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5781964-105dd0aa766565c8c48a49d8c0003dc6&start=1996&end=2369","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5781964-105dd0aa766565c8c48a49d8c0003dc6/thumbnail_1996000.jpg","/articles/6468746/Texas/Perryton-ISD-finance-director-reports-lower-revenue-reduced-fund-balance-and-foodservice-shortfall","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6468746-e46968029bb597389a378f462d90fa1e/orig.mp4?Expires=1770983139&Signature=fBG~VRMSxmOJQC-QvAmtBZ926QLTIZPiglhI9aA4c6b99EHa1sILyA2TOv-jnKX~gX210ro~LG74FlPHwrTv~W9gx7KSYdTWg7zmSyi23fReNuRzxA3KCFKUTdhDnbQEhyIeUxmnXjmc~VF6Y7qrP47lsogGmmRHZlM1UbrVtDCdsMId8ByzWY25DWLTGnCvIWmze7gpEpdn~P~PvD2BEkNyWoCTdgsB~OKeeAE9-uH5EyPq1PkfvnmsopqHDZmtttPqA6YA4v0dqBKWTSkiHJf5BPTr39biMzhTMY-2Ltm59AbaAtAlL3TJSnZp1~4IR2cu08SmaRwYRF~TIOzVkw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Perryton ISD's finance director presented the district's most recent financial summary, saying general fund spending was about $1.7 million under budget but revenues fell short, leaving an estimated 4.76 months of fund balance.

The director said several factors reduced revenue: average daily attendance (ADA) was about 100 students below budget, which she estimated reduced revenue by roughly $600,000; federal funding available this year had decreased; and a shortfall in charge funding was about $150,000. She also said accrued interest adjustments reduced revenue by about $136,000.

Food service and other funds

The finance director told the board that the food service fund lost the temporary reimbursement levels that were in place during universal free meals and therefore lacks the cushion it had previously. She said food service expenses were about $144,000 higher this year than last and that the fund did not come into the year with a balance sufficient to offset that change. Day care and other auxiliary funds were described as having offsets from prior federal COVID balances that partially mitigate year‑end numbers.

Key numbers presented

- General fund spending: about $1,700,000 less than budgeted for the two fiscal years shown in the report.
- Average monthly expenditures: approximately $1,810,000 (up from $1,670,000 last year).
- Revenue shortfall: the director said revenue was about 7.7% under forecast for the general fund.
- Fund balance: the report showed about 4.76 months of fund balance at the time of the presentation.

The finance director added vendor‑level breakdowns of Prop A and Prop B expenditures and said she did not foresee large outstanding bills beyond cleanup adjustments. Board members asked clarifying questions about per‑unit costs for recent projects and the ranger film event; the director provided additional line‑item detail on request.

No formal board action was recorded; the report will be used to inform budget monitoring and future decisions.","The district's finance report showed general fund spending below budget but revenue shortfalls from lower average daily attendance and reduced federal reimbursements; fund balance ended at about 4.76 months and food service requires supplementation.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_46":105,"_48":106,"_50":107,"_52":108,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":109,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":110,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6468749,"Perryton ISD staff outlines plan to pursue Texas Teacher Incentive Allotment",860,248000,1108000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5781964-105dd0aa766565c8c48a49d8c0003dc6&start=248&end=1108","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5781964-105dd0aa766565c8c48a49d8c0003dc6/thumbnail_248000.jpg","/articles/6468749/Texas/Perryton-ISD-staff-outlines-plan-to-pursue-Texas-Teacher-Incentive-Allotment","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6468749-da8ebe619456f6bd99ee60edf64cddd8/orig.mp4?Expires=1770983139&Signature=XW0ZKiURkkOKPXCNc-UZ31mqqOjo2y2bcVVTlsXtAKGTzedW7SD0dfeuv~jDBOOW~uWzKKZIORWCEaadCz2YIyWcMCsIClti6Cf4rLgMwbtxsRrlRkyGaAea1thJsuSYQg56QKxn4rN9z6PlaRzX19MQv9QeIvZtm5ENA4zUr7oquqTjhwDqonGFTDL2-lv2RtTD7NORunsffHfV5jAOouycnEyaCL61r5R2a~ABgt~l1uDvh1kJk8VtSSqQ6sDVbegbuRTEmd~DSn51YoV~qXcwUQDDcR9R3MgW8L3XkX0c77XsiZ08DRpOwqj3IXl6sN93uRZ-ujfvnfb954m-Mw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","An unnamed district staff member told the Perryton ISD school board that the district is exploring adopting the Texas Teacher Incentive Allotment, a state program that can provide additional salary for designated teachers and that requires a locally developed plan approved by the Texas Education Agency (TEA).

The staff member said the program uses three designation levels that carry different statewide funding ranges and that the actual dollar awards depend on district characteristics such as rural status and percentage of low‑socioeconomic students. \"The teacher incentive allotment...is a way to provide teachers a higher income while still remaining in the classroom,\" the staff member said.

The staff member said the district would need to develop a plan that includes at minimum a student growth measure and a teacher evaluation measure, submit it for TEA approval, run a baseline year of data collection, then begin payouts in the third year if TEA signs off. \"If TEA says this is okay, then the next year...they monitor our students' scores...and then the third year...checks can move out,\" the staff member told the board.

Why it matters: TIA funds are sent from the state and are not drawn from local tax dollars; they are intended to increase teacher pay without increasing local payroll costs. The staff member said regional districts already adopting TIA could create a retention challenge, because teachers who have earned a TIA designation can carry it and the associated state funding to another district.

Key program details presented

- Designations: recognized, exemplary and master (staff cited statewide ranges and district examples).
- Perryton ISD estimates (district figures presented by staff): recognized $7,030; exemplary $14,060; master $25,433 (annual supplemental dollars per designated teacher). The staff member said those district figures are funded by the state, not local funds.
- Duration: a designation is held for five years once awarded.
- Eligibility: the staff member emphasized designations require certified teachers and that the measures focus on student growth rather than absolute achievement.
- Minimum plan elements: a student growth measure and a teacher evaluation measure; districts may add optional criteria such as attendance or trainings.

Rollout recommendation and concerns

The staff member recommended a phased rollout to limit early implementation problems: year one focusing on STAR and EOC assessments plus grades K–2 using a growth measure such as MAP; year two adding Career and Technical Education (CTE), special education and pre‑K; year three adding electives. The staff member said many districts that tried to enroll all teachers in year one found the program difficult to implement.

Board members asked about retention and portability. The staff member confirmed that a teacher who brings a designation from another district would be eligible to receive state funds in Perryton ISD if that teacher still holds the designation. The presenter also estimated that approximately 30–40% of teachers in a district that implements TIA receive some designation, though they called that an early estimate.

Next steps

The presenter said she is meeting with faculty across the district and expected the group developing a local plan to meet and produce a draft for board consideration by mid‑October; submission to TEA would follow if the board approves the plan. \"I can't ethically not ask the question...because I see the money that could be on the table for our teachers,\" the staff member said when describing why she raised the item now.

The board did not take a formal vote during the meeting; staff said further discussion and a formal board decision would follow later this fall if the district completes a draft plan and seeks approval to proceed.","District staff described a multi‑year process to apply for the state Teacher Incentive Allotment (TIA), explained how designations and payouts would work for Perryton ISD teachers, and recommended a phased rollout if the board decides to proceed.","actionData","errors"]
