San Antonio ISD president: blue-ribbon task force appointed to advise on potential 2026 bond referendum

President Alicia Sebastian of the San Antonio ISD Board of Trustees said the board approved appointments of community members to a blue-ribbon task force to advise trustees regarding a potential 2026 bond referendum, expected to be considered during the May elections.

The task force, Sebastian said, will provide community input and recommendations to the trustees as the district evaluates whether to place a bond measure on the ballot. Sebastian described the item as an approved appointment during the Board Bites highlights of the district's Oct. 14 meeting; the recording did not include motion text, mover/second, or a vote tally.

The district did not provide details in the highlights on the task force membership list, the timeline for recommendations, or the bond’s proposed size and scope. Sebastian framed the task force as a community advisory body rather than a decision-making entity; any final decision to place a bond on the ballot would rest with the board.

Next steps described in the highlights: the task force will advise trustees as they develop options for a potential bond measure; timing noted in the remarks points to consideration during May elections. The district’s website was not cited for additional materials in the clip; trustees or staff may publish more details in future meeting materials.
