Board delegates authority to superintendent to execute Option 3 recapture agreements required by TEA
Summary
Trustees formally delegated authority to the superintendent and board officers to execute required Option 3 (pay state recapture) documents for the 2024–25 school year after staff explained there is effectively no alternative to paying recapture this year; motion passed 5–0.
The board authorized the superintendent to execute documents necessary to employ Option 3 for wealth equalization/recapture for the 2024–25 school year. Finance staff explained Texas Education Agency (TEA) requirements and said that, since district attendance‑credit purchase is not an available option this year, the district must use Option 3 (pay the state) for recapture.
A staff presenter said the authorization is an annual formality required by TEA; the superintendent recommended delegating contractual authority and allowing board officers (president and secretary) to sign. Trustees moved, seconded and approved the delegation by a 5–0 vote. Staff noted the action is procedural and that payments/contract specifics will be managed by the finance office.
