Royal ISD delegates Chapter 49 contracting authority to superintendent
Summary
Trustees delegated contractual authority under Texas Education Code §11.1511(c)(4) so the superintendent may obligate the district under TEC §48.257 and Chapter 49 for the 2025-26 school year, including submission of agreements for purchase of attendance credits.
On Aug. 11 the board delegated contractual authority to the superintendent under Texas Education Code §11.1511(c)(4) to obligate the district under TEC §48.257 and Chapter 49 and the rules adopted by the commissioner of education. The delegation includes approval of the Agreement for the Purchase of Attendance Credit and authorization to submit those documents via TEA’s Excess Local Revenue system before the Jan. 15, 2026 deadline.
Trustee Traci Seward moved the delegation; Trustee Elton Foster seconded and the motion passed on a recorded vote. The minutes cite the legal authority and link to TEA guidance but do not list specific contract terms.
Why it matters: Chapter 49 (formerly Chapter 41) governs redistributive funding and attendance-credit purchases that can affect district finance. The delegation authorizes the superintendent to act administratively to comply with TEA deadlines.
Next steps: administration will submit the Option 3 contract and related documents through the FSP Excess Local Revenue online system by Jan. 15, 2026, if applicable.
