Magnolia Independent School District held a budget workshop on May 5, 2026, at the district administration board room to present the proposed fiscal year 2026–27 budget and related personnel measures. Board President Gary Blizzard led the opening; the session was conducted as a workshop rather than a formal school board meeting.
Workshop materials highlighted four principal items: the FY 2026–27 budget and expense plan; a proposed 401(a) employer-match retirement plan aimed at retaining teachers; a one-time $500 retention payment for all district employees on the Sept. 1 payroll; and districtwide salary adjustments including a minimum 3% raise and a veteran-teacher schedule. The minutes record the topics discussed but do not list detailed revenue or expenditure line items in the text provided. The minutes show board members Gary Blizzard, Dacia Owens, Sonja Ebel, Stacia Norris, Jordan Blake and David McCarty present, with Jay Michals absent.
The workshop concluded with a motion to adjourn by Sonja Ebel, seconded by Dacia Owens; the session ended at 7:28 p.m. The minutes also include administrative approval language and list minutes approval and signing dates of July 13, 2026.
