Summary
Superintendent Dr. Darryl Flusche told the board enrollment stands at 11,438 and outlined cost‑reduction measures for 2026–27 including adjustments to librarian staffing, limits on district-funded travel, and adding one Gifted & Talented teacher per feeder pattern; the board approved related budget amendments and a planned June budget workshop.
Superintendent Dr. Darryl Flusche reported district enrollment at 11,438 and described several cost‑reduction strategies for the 2026–27 school year. He said librarian positions will be adjusted while keeping libraries open: the plan provides two elementary librarians, one intermediate librarian, and one high school/junior high librarian per feeder pattern; an additional Gifted & Talented teacher will allow one GT teacher per feeder pattern.
The Board unanimously approved budget amendments and accepted a financial report presented by Chief Financial Officer Lela Vela that included using a portion of the committed fund balance for projects at Randall High School. Dr. Flusche also said the district is limiting employee professional‑development travel and student group travel using district funds and noted a proposed TEA rule that would require additional police officers at events with more than 500 attendees, a change he said could increase costs for concerts and awards ceremonies. The board scheduled a special meeting in June for a grievance hearing and a budget workshop and set its regular meeting for June 8.
