Canyon ISD board approves monthly financials, budget transfers, donations and personnel actions
Summary
Trustees approved January financial reports (with minor slide discrepancies reconciled to district books), authorized small budget transfers (including coding cleanup for UIL expenses), accepted donations totaling about $24,618 plus in‑kind pianos/gift cards, and approved routine personnel and administrative contract renewals.
At its March 9 meeting, the Canyon ISD Board of Trustees approved routine financial and personnel items including the monthly financial report, minor budget amendments, donations, and a slate of employment and contract renewals.
Finance staff presented January 31, 2026 figures showing cash and investments of roughly $74 million (bank cash ~$34M plus two investment pools ~$41M), year‑to‑date interest income, and typical seasonal revenue inflows in January. Staff identified a slide duplication/typo in the tax collection slide and told the board the district books would be used as the official record; the board approved the monthly report "as they are in our books."
The board approved small transfers that moved some campus funds for professional development and moved historically mislabeled UIL expenditures out of instructional accounts into extracurricular (function 36) to improve consistency.
Trustees accepted a range of donations — monetary contributions for athletic and program support, gift cards, and two in‑kind grand pianos — totaling approximately $24,617.60 plus in‑kind items. The board expressed public appreciation for booster clubs, businesses and community donors.
Following a return from closed session, trustees approved routine personnel recommendations for the 2026–27 school year, extended one administrator to a two‑year contract, renewed multiple one‑year administrative contracts, and approved one‑year term contracts for probationary administrators. The board directed the superintendent to provide written notice of approvals to affected employees.
Votes on these items were recorded as unanimous except where individual trustees abstained as noted in the minutes (for example, a trustee abstained on approval of prior meeting minutes and one abstention on a personnel motion).
