Nixon‑Smiley CISD board delegates attendance‑credit contracting authority to superintendent
Summary
Trustees authorized the superintendent to obligate the district for agreements to purchase attendance credit under specified Texas Education Code provisions for 2025–26, approving a motion that includes legal citations and the Agreement for the Purchase of Attendance Credit.
At its Nov. 17, 2025 meeting the Nixon‑Smiley CISD Board adopted an order delegating contractual authority to obligate the district for the 2025–26 school year under Texas Education Code provisions related to attendance credit purchases. The motion, moved by Trustee Chris Villasana and seconded by Trustee Lester Warzecha, approved delegating authority under TEC §11.1511(c)(4) specifically for obligations under TEC §48.257, TEC Chapter 49 Subchapters A and D and rules adopted by the commissioner under TEC §49.006. Trustees Lott, Box, Villasana, Mendez, Warzecha and Newman voted aye.
The action includes approval of the Agreement for the Purchase of Attendance Credit (including the Netting Chapter 48 funding option). The Board limited the delegation to the narrow statutory authority described in the motion; the superintendent was authorized to obligate the district for the purchases within that scope.
