During the open public comment period, Kelly Self, representing the Sinton Soccer League, urged the board to consider adding soccer to the district athletic program and shared reasons in support of the proposal.
Trustee Crystal Saldaf1a asked that the item be returned on a future agenda as an action item; Trustee Carol Reagan questioned the timing given the district's budget status and whether adding a program would be feasible while the district is operating in a deficit budget. Trustee Israel Ethan Garza requested that information on costs and implementation be provided at the February meeting for consideration as an action item. The board did not take formal action on the proposal during the Nov. 18 meeting; next steps are to collect cost estimates and program implications before a potential vote.
Provenance: The public comment and board discussion are recorded in the meeting's public-comment and information-item sections.
