Sinton ISD board delegates authority to superintendent for attendance‑credit agreements
Summary
At its Aug. 4 special workshop, the Sinton ISD Board delegated contractual authority to the superintendent to obligate the district under specified Texas Education Code sections so the district can enter Agreements for the Purchase of Attendance Credit for 2025–26; the motion passed 5–0.
Sinton Independent School District’s Board of Trustees on Aug. 4 voted to delegate contractual authority to the superintendent to obligate the district under selected Texas Education Code provisions so staff can complete Agreements for the Purchase of Attendance Credit for the 2025–26 school year.
The measure, described during the budget workshop portion of the meeting, cites Texas Education Code 11.1511(c)(4) as the delegation mechanism and limits the delegation to obligations under TEC 48.257 and TEC Chapter 49 subchapters A and D and the rules adopted by the commissioner of education under TEC 49.006. The board’s action specifically included approval of the Agreement for the Purchase of Attendance Credit (including provisions to net Chapter 48 funding).
Board Member Sam Lankford moved to delegate the authority and approve the agreement; Board Member Richard Gingrich seconded the motion. The motion passed on a 5–0 vote. The transcript lists Board Vice President Danny Lorberau and Board Member Israel Ethan Garza as not in attendance for some items; the public minutes should be consulted for individual roll-call votes if required.
The transcript does not record the specific attendance‑credit contract language presented to the board or the estimated dollar amounts or pupils affected. The delegation authorizes the superintendent to obligate the district under the cited TEC authorities for the 2025–26 year; any contract executed under that authority will be subject to statutory requirements and any additional approvals required by district policy.
