Summary
Trustees voted 6–0 to accept a one‑year memorandum of understanding with Nursery Independent School District for students to enroll as Victoria ISD students; Nursery ISD will pay tuition and transportation until it secures its own buses.
The Victoria Independent School District Board of Trustees voted 6–0 on April 17 to accept a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Nursery Independent School District that will allow Nursery students in selected grades to enroll in VISD schools under a one‑year, renewable agreement.
District staff told trustees the original request discussed ninth through 12th grades but Nursery proposed expanding enrollment to include eighth grade as well. Nursery will pay tuition and transportation costs specified in the memorandum; students who enroll through the agreement will be VISD students and the funds generated will go to VISD. If Nursery secures buses, it will assume transportation; until then, Victoria ISD will provide transportation and be reimbursed by Nursery.
District staff estimated Nursery could have about 25 students per grade level and that the maximum number if all opted to enroll would be roughly 125 students. Parents may keep a student at their current district if they provide their own transportation, staff said.
Trustee Margaret Pruitt moved to accept the agreement; Trustee Mica Patton seconded the motion. The board approved the MOU 6–0.
