Muleshoe ISD board holds public hearing on 2026–2027 budget; no public comment
Summary
The Muleshoe Independent School District Board met June 29, 2026 for a public hearing on the proposed 2026–2027 budget; no members of the public spoke, the board recorded that no budget amendment was required, and it adjourned after a unanimous roll-call on the adjournment motion with one member absent.
The Muleshoe Independent School District Board held a public hearing on its proposed 2026–2027 budget on June 29, 2026 at 7:00 AM at the district administration office. Board President Kevin Morris called the meeting to order and noted a quorum of trustees present: Kevin Morris (President), Jesús Tovar Jr., Raquel Kirven (Secretary), Ashley Turnbow and Chad Beall; Trustee Steve Clifton was recorded as absent.
"El presidente Kevin Morris declaró iniciada la reunión a las 7:00 AM," the meeting minutes record. The board opened the public-comment portion of the hearing but recorded that there were no public comments at that time. The minutes also show agenda item 4B — a review of any required budget amendment — and state that "No se requirió una enmienda en este momento," indicating the board did not adopt or direct an amendment during the recorded segments.
Trustee Chad Beall gave the invocation and Trustee Jesús Tovar Jr. led the Pledge of Allegiance before the board proceeded with the hearing. The agenda noted that the board "may meet in executive session in compliance with the Texas Open Meetings Act 551.071 a 551.084," but the provided transcript segments do not record an executive session taking place.
Later in the meeting, Trustee Chad Beall moved to adjourn the session; Trustee Jesús Tovar Jr. seconded the motion. A roll-call vote was recorded as follows: Kevin Morris — Yes; Steve Clifton — Absent; Jesús Tovar Jr. — Yes; Ashley Turnbow — Yes; Chad Beall — Yes; Raquel Kirven — Yes. The motion carried (5 yes, 0 no, 1 absent), and the minutes state that the meeting was adjourned at 7:15 AM. The board scheduled its next regular meeting for July 9, 2026, at 7:00 PM.
The minutes name visitors Scott Bicknell, Greg Hill and Myles James on the sign-in sheet but do not record any comments from them in the provided segments. The record contains no budget line items, dollar amounts, or staff presentations in the segments supplied; if the board discussed specific budget numbers elsewhere in its packet or in untranscribed segments, those details are not present in this transcript.
