Hackberry district says high school will not open next school year; administrator cites need for direction
Summary
An update at the June 22 special meeting said a planned high school will not open for the coming school year as the district awaits direction on next steps; Business Manager Sam Dell also said he will bring a budget revision in September.
The Hackberry Elementary School District #3 governing board on June 22 received an update that a planned high school "will not happen for this coming school year" as the district awaits further direction on next steps.
The minutes record the high school status under Old Business. The entry notes that the district is "waiting on direction" to continue efforts to get a high school approved; the minutes do not identify who provided the update by name. The board listed an "Administrator" report on the agenda; because no individual name is attached in the record, the update is attributed in the minutes to the district administrator.
Business Manager Samuel "Sam" Dell told the board he will present a revision to the district budget in September. The minutes do not include additional financial figures or a timeline for approval of a high school beyond the note that it will not occur in the coming school year.
Why it matters: establishing a local high school would affect students, staffing and future budget planning. The board recorded the procedural update but did not take formal action on the high school at this session.
The board adjourned at 10:15 a.m.; the next scheduled meeting is July 14, 2026.
