Alamo Heights ISD board adopts 2026-27 calendar, approves consent agenda and hears committee updates

The Alamo Heights ISD Board of Trustees on Wednesday approved the district's proposed 2026-27 academic calendar, passed the consent agenda and heard reports from the building, budget and policy committees.

District staff explained that calendar development involved a subcommittee of the district education advisory council and parent representatives, and noted features designed to support teachers: three teacher workdays and two early-release days, and a spring break scheduled in the second week so teachers return with a full planning day. Staff cited survey feedback from 137 staff respondents and 97 parents with roughly 90% approval (Presenter, Speaker 4).

"Most of those folks were faculty ... about 90% said, yeah, it's fine," the presenter said while summarizing survey outcomes. The board considered the calendar and a motion to approve carried on a voice vote.

The board also approved the consent agenda in one motion after the presiding officer noted the district had received over $200,000 in donations during the reporting period. Committee reports followed: the building committee reviewed schematics and pricing status for Broadway and a proposed district community center and junior school; the budget committee discussed bond issuance plans (approximately $70 million out for bid and a suggested interest-rate range near 4.45%); and the policy committee reviewed a packet of legislative-driven policy updates and an upcoming naming-rights agenda item.

Ending: With routine business concluded, the board announced an executive session and offered a short break before convening.
