WESLACO ISD trustees approve Lone Star Governance report, consent agenda; superintendent reports $5.5 million surplus
Summary
WESLACO ISD trustees approved a Lone Star Governance monitoring report and a consent agenda that included hiring an internal auditor and delegating authority to sign an electricity contract, while Superintendent Richard Rivera said current attendance leaves the district with about a $5.5 million surplus.
WESLACO — The WESLACO ISD Board of Trustees on Monday approved its Lone Star Governance (LSG) monitoring report, cleared a consent agenda that included several recommended contracts and purchases, and heard Superintendent Richard Rivera say the district was holding a roughly $5.5 million surplus based on current attendance figures.
Rivera told the board that, at the end of the fourth six-week reporting period the district’s average daily attendance (ADA) plus the state adjustment put district revenue at $15,001.49 per pupil and that “if school ended today, we would have $5,500,000 more,” a figure he described as “very, very, very good.”
The board also approved routine personnel contracts and resignations that the superintendent recommended, and the group signed off on multiple items grouped on the consent agenda, including authorization for the superintendent to execute an electricity services contract judged to provide the best value for the district and the engagement of an energy consultant listed in the agenda packet.
