San Antonio ISD trustees approve amended and new budgets, name Tony Thompson interim superintendent

San Antonio — At a June 15 meeting, the San Antonio ISD Board of Trustees approved a final amended budget for the current school year and adopted a budget for the 2026–27 school year, selected the Texas Association of School Business Officials to conduct an efficiency audit and approved a resolution authorizing the superintendent to execute construction-related documents, President Alicia Sebastian said.

“We have been proud to work alongside our teacher of teachers and wish him a happy and healthy retirement,” Sebastian said, referring to outgoing Superintendent Dr. Jaime Aquino. Sebastian opened the Board Bites video with a summary of the board’s actions and community engagement clips.

The board approved two budget actions: a final amended budget for the current school year and a new budget set to take effect July 1, 2026. The transcript records the board’s approvals but does not list motion language, individual movers or vote tallies; those details were not specified in the video summary.

Trustees also voted to retain the Texas Association of School Business Officials (TASBO) to perform an efficiency audit of district operations, and they approved a resolution authorizing the superintendent to execute construction-related documents. The resolution was described in the summary; the text of the resolution and any implementing conditions were not provided in the video.

Board members received an update on the district’s Board Guardrail initiative intended to improve safety and learning environments across the district, and the board paused work by ad hoc committees while the trustees update their theory of action; Sebastian said those ad hoc groups will be reinstated at a future time.

The board’s summary also announced Tony Thompson as the district’s interim superintendent. The video presents the announcement as board business; the transcript does not show a separate recorded vote or an effective date for Thompson’s appointment.

The Board Bites segment concludes with community engagement footage from recent graduation ceremonies (Edison High School, a reference to "Burbank" in chants and remarks) celebrating the Class of 2026. The graduation clips are presented as community outreach and are not part of the board’s formal meeting minutes.

Minutes, vote tallies, the full text of the TASBO engagement and the construction-related resolution were not included in the Board Bites video and are listed in the board summary as not specified.
