Summary
Trustees voted 7'0 to authorize Superintendent Doctor Lee to negotiate financial addenda with the San Antonio Will Smith Zoo School, allowing administration to finalize adjustments tied to enrollment and state funding without repeated board approvals.
The Seguin ISD Board approved a motion delegating authority to Superintendent Doctor Lee to negotiate and amend the district's agreement with the San Antonio Will Smith Zoo School, with a focus on a financial addendum that will clarify funding and settle‑up details tied to co‑enrolled students.
Staff said the addendum will allow flexibility to adjust payments if actual eligible co‑enrolled students (attendance vs enrollment) differ from initial assumptions; the administration described a month‑by‑month or six‑week review tied to state funding calculations and a billing mechanism if the zoo school must repay funding due to lower attendance. Administration said the most recent count showed 29 of 40 slots filled at the zoo school program.
Trustee Dwyer moved to delegate the authority; Trustee Bright seconded. The motion passed 7'0.
Ending: Staff said they do not anticipate additional changes beyond the financial addendum; the delegated authority is intended to avoid returning routine clarifications to the board while preserving transparency.
