Summary

Trustees approved Resolution No. 28/25‑26 to authorize limited local‑fund wage payments for eligible employees affected by an inclement‑weather district closure on June 16, 2026. The resolution explicitly excludes payment for federally funded supplemental duties and requires documentation controls.

The Board approved Resolution No. 28/25‑26 authorizing limited wage payments from local funds for eligible employees who were scheduled to work on June 16, 2026 but were prevented from doing so because the district closed for inclement weather.

Trustee Denise Garza asked whether summer‑school staff and operational employees such as transportation, custodial and maintenance workers were included; Board Attorney Andrea Vela confirmed the resolution's eligibility language and counsel emphasized that federally funded positions generally cannot be paid for work not performed under the terms of the grant.

The resolution, which administration said will be funded from local funds only, directs the superintendent or designee to ensure controls and documentation showing eligibility, affected hours and that no costs were shifted to restricted funding sources. Trustees approved the resolution in a recorded vote (6–0) with Trustee Minerva Pena absent for that vote.
