Tomball ISD releases CTE funds and commits $975,000 to phase 2 of strategic plan
Summary
The board approved release of $1,289,300 from CTE restricted funds for 2025–26 and authorized $975,000 from committed funds to begin phase 2 of the district’s Exceeding Excellence 2030 strategic plan; trustees discussed how the Great Expectations contract is funded from the strategic plan allocation.
The Tomball ISD Board of Trustees approved two fund releases related to program and strategic plan work at its June 17 meeting.
Trustees voted unanimously to release $1,289,300 from Career and Technical Education (CTE) restricted funds for the 2025–26 school year. The board also authorized the release of $975,000 from committed funds to initiate phase 2 of the district’s Exceeding Excellence 2030 strategic plan. Both motions carried unanimously.
During discussion trustees asked whether the $975,000 is drawn from the just‑completed fiscal year or from the next year’s allocation; district staff clarified the money is being released from the portion of the committed funds that was closed out for 2024–25 (the fiscal year ending June 30) and is part of the total $4,000,000 previously approved for the strategic plan. The board confirmed the $975,000 includes funding for the Great Expectations contract the board approved at a prior meeting rather than creating a separate contract for the program.
A trustee asked for clarity on the relationship between the Great Expectations program and the strategic plan; staff explained Great Expectations provides ongoing coaching and training for campuses, and that current funding supports sustainability and summer training rather than an expanded one‑time onboarding cohort. The board recorded no public comments on these items.
Implementation notes: funds released are restricted or committed balances previously earmarked; district staff indicated these releases are within the previously approved $4,000,000 strategic plan authorization. The board’s motions to release funds were made, seconded and approved unanimously.
