San Benito CISD board approves consent agenda, appoints elementary principal and allocates appraisal district votes
At its regular meeting, the San Benito Consolidated Independent School District Board of Trustees approved a consolidated consent agenda and took multiple personnel and administrative actions after a closed session.

The consent agenda, recommended by administration, included routine academic and business items such as House Bill 3 goals, partnership agreements (including a San Benito CISD partnership with Texas State Technical College Upward Bound), memoranda of understanding with United Way of Southern Cameron County and Region 1 Education Service Center, grant applications (LASO/P-TECH), financial reports, award and extension of district RFPs and a final payment to FieldTurf USA. The consent agenda also included an order authorizing the issuance of "San Benito Consolidated Independent School District unlimited tax refunding bonds series 2026" and delegating final bond terms to district staff. The board approved the consent agenda by motion (mover: Orlando Lopez; second: Israel Villareal the third). The chair stated "Motion carries." (no roll-call tally recorded in the public record provided).

Under action item 10.1, trustees moved the discussion of nominations for Cameron County Appraisal District board directors into executive session and later reconvened. After the closed session, Trustee Ruto Gomez moved — and Trustee Israel Villareal the third seconded — a motion "that the 60 votes that have been allocated to the Samuel CSC have should be given to mister David a Garza." The chair called the question and the motion carried.

The board also approved employment resignations, retirements and terminations as discussed in executive session (motion by Trustee Gomez, second by Trustee Villareal). Superintendent Alfredo Perez recommended Nicole Murillo to be principal at Judge Oscar de la Fuente Elementary; the board approved that appointment (motion by Trustee Villareal, second by Trustee Gomez). The board approved a recommendation related to the litigation matter 2025-DCL-00268-B SBCISD v. Davila et al and denied a level-3 grievance by motion; both motions carried.

The board convened an executive session citing Texas Government Code Section 551.071 (consultation with attorney) and Section 551.074 (personnel matters), and recorded closed-session times (entered at 06:38, reconvened at 08:55). The meeting adjourned at 08:58.
