Summary

Trustees approved a transparency item documenting an emergency repair of approximately 280 feet of collapsed sewer line at Estacado High School. Staff said the repair cost about $163,000 and was necessary to open the school on time.

The board approved and recorded an emergency construction purchase to repair a collapsed sewer line at Estacado High School.

Mister Rodriguez said roughly 280 feet of sewer line collapsed and the district contracted emergency repairs so Estacado could open on time. The minutes list this as a transparency action because the repair exceeded the threshold requiring board approval. Staff identified Sodexo for heavy support during the fast response. Trustees noted that such facility emergencies are costly and that older campus buildings can require significant unplanned expenditures that reduce funds otherwise available for staffing and programming.

Trustees approved the emergency repair purchase by roll call/voice vote with no recorded opposition (motion carries 5-0). The public minutes show the repair expense at roughly $163,000.
