District negotiates crosstown ROTC with Laverne ISD and seeks foreign‑exchange waiver
Summary
Administrators said they are finalizing a crosstown ROTC agreement with Laverne ISD to bolster enrollment in a program below the 100‑student threshold and will apply for a two‑year waiver capping foreign‑exchange students at eight for 2025–26.
Superintendent Dr. Gilstrap told trustees the district is finalizing a crosstown ROTC agreement with Laverne ISD that would allow Laverne students to participate in Floresville's ROTC program. The move is intended to address the local program's enrollment shortfall — administration said current enrollment is around 80 students while the required threshold is 100.
Separately, administration requested authority to apply for a two‑year waiver to cap foreign exchange students at eight for the 2025–26 school year. Dr. Gilstrap said the timeline for the waiver requires early application; the board discussed past figures (17 foreign exchange students two years ago, fewer more recently) and noted the need to clarify expected numbers if the district does not obtain the waiver.
Administrators said they will finalize funding and logistical details with Laverne ISD and proceed with the waiver application process according to TEA timelines.
