Superintendent reports ESSA funding, legislative updates and planned brick sealing for campus buildings
Summary
Superintendent Kurt Ashmore told the board Wellington ISD is a Title I district receiving Title II and IV funds, summarized legislative items including House Bills 2 and 4 and said the district is seeking property-insurance quotes and plans to apply water sealer to brick on three campus buildings.
Superintendent Kurt Ashmore briefed the Wellington ISD Board on district funding, legislative activity and facility maintenance at the June 9 meeting. "Wellington ISD is a Title I school that reaps Title II and Title IV funds," Ashmore said, noting the district uses those federal funds for "salaries, contracts and supplies" in the 2025-2026 budget year. He also provided a legislative update calling out House Bills 2 and 4 and a UIL Legislative Council update; the board was told a Legislative Update training for members will be scheduled in late August.
Ashmore said the district is obtaining property insurance quotes and that an insurance adjuster recently inspected leaks in the math building. He told the board the district plans to "put water sealer on the brick at the high school, junior high and the math building." Ashmore also noted he will attend a UIL Legislative Council meeting in Austin on Wednesday. The minutes do not record additional fiscal figures or detailed timelines for the insurance procurement or the sealing work.
