Sanger ISD to exercise statutory exception under SB 546 and pursue TEA grant opportunities
Summary
The board approved using the statutory exception for Senate Bill 546 due to budget constraints and authorized administration to submit grant applications to the Texas Education Agency when opportunities open in mid-2026.
Trustees voted unanimously to exercise the statutory exception for Senate Bill 546, citing current budget constraints, and authorized district administration to submit grant applications to the Texas Education Agency when funding windows open in mid-2026. The motion was moved by Trustee Mitch Hammonds and seconded by Trustee Bruce Elsey and passed 6-0 with one trustee absent.
The action signals the district’s intent to seek external grant funding under an exception allowed by law in light of budget limitations. The minutes record the board’s authorization but do not specify grant programs, estimated amounts, or timelines beyond "mid-2026" for when applications may open.
