Board keeps paid pre-K tuition for employee children at $4,095 for 2025–26
Summary
Trustees approved maintaining the tuition-based pre-kindergarten rate for children of employees at $4,095 per student for the 2025–26 school year, the same rate as the prior year.
The Dickinson ISD board on July 14 approved the recommended tuition rate for paid pre-kindergarten seats for children of employees on a space-available basis for the 2025–26 school year.
A district presenter explained that legislation from the 80th legislature (as referenced in the meeting) expanded eligibility for pre-K to include classroom teachers’ children but did not extend the same eligibility to paraprofessionals, administrators or other staff, creating continued demand for paid pre-K seats. The district’s cost analysis recommended maintaining the paid tuition rate at $4,095 per student for the 2025–26 school year; the board approved the recommendation by motion, second and voice vote.
Discussion versus action: the item was an action item; the board approved keeping the rate unchanged. The transcript did not include a detailed cost breakdown beyond the presenter’s summary.
Implementation notes: the approval applies to tuition-based pre-K for employee children on a space-available basis; the transcript did not provide enrollment caps or the mechanism for application and priority.
