Boerne ISD board approves personnel report, enters real estate negotiations, adopts 2025-26 calendar and approves budget amendments
Summary
At its Dec. 16 meeting the Boerne ISD Board of Trustees approved personnel actions discussed in closed session, authorized continued real-estate negotiations, adopted the districtschool calendar for 2025-26 (Option 2), and approved several budget amendments including additional debt-service defeasance.
The Boerne Independent School District Board of Trustees on Dec. 16 approved personnel actions discussed in closed session, voted to proceed with real-estate discussions and negotiations, adopted the 2025-26 school calendar (the administrationrecommended Option 2) and approved budget amendments that include additional defeasance of outstanding debt.
The votes followed a closed session called under Texas Government Code sections cited on the meeting agenda for personnel, student privacy and real-estate deliberations. After returning to open session board members made motions to implement the actions discussed behind closed doors and to proceed with public notices of recent personnel appointments.
Board members also considered and approved the administrationrecommended 2025-26 calendar (Option 2) after a public feedback period. The board then approved a budget amendment for the debt service fund that raises both revenues and expenditures in order to apply additional surplus funds and anticipated state receipts toward a defeasance intended to lower future interest costs.
Votes at a glance: - Motion: Approve personnel report as discussed in closed session. Motion made and seconded; outcome: approved. (No roll-call tally given on the record; the chair called for “aye” and the motion passed.) - Motion: Proceed with real-estate discussions and negotiations as discussed in closed session. Motion made and seconded; outcome: approved. - Motion: Adopt 2025-26 school calendar (Option 2) as recommended by administration. Motion made and seconded; outcome: approved. - Motion: Approve budget amendments, donation report and tax-collection report as presented (includes debt-service defeasance funding). Motion made and seconded; outcome: approved.
Announcements tied to closed-session personnel action: The board publicly introduced Brittney Walker as the districtAcademic Dean for Champion High School and Michael Gioannou as principal of Currington Elementary after the personnel motion passed.
Why this matters: The personnel approvals and calendar adoption set staffing and the instructional year; the budget amendment and defeasance affect long-term district debt-service costs and near-term fund balances.
No detailed roll-call vote was read into the public record for the recorded motions; votes were taken by voice and the chair declared the motions passed.
