PSJA board clears routine finance items, including athletic insurance and ambulance retainer
Summary
Trustees approved 2025–26 functional budget amendments, authorized facility use for Hidalgo County elections, renewed a student athletic accident insurance proposal for $260,992, and approved a $70,000 estimated retainer for districtwide standby ambulance services with staff noting the actual cost can vary.
During the consent portion of the meeting the board approved several finance and operations items recommended by staff.
Trustees approved the 2025–26 functional budget amendments and granted use of district facilities for the Hidalgo County general election and runoff. The board also approved renewing a student athletic accident and voluntary accident insurance proposal totaling $260,992; staff noted the vendor has held rates steady over recent renewals and that the district will put the product out for bid after the current renewal cycle expires.
On emergency medical services, staff recommended and trustees approved a standby ambulance services retainer for districtwide events estimated at $70,000. Presenters explained the $70,000 figure is an estimate used for budgeting and software calculations while actual hours billed can fluctuate (staff noted prior-year actuals have ranged and that high athletic involvement can increase usage). Trustees asked questions about bidding timelines and cost history; staff said these services are on a third‑year renewal and will be re‑bid at the end of the contract term.
All items were approved by motion during the meeting’s finance section.
