Superintendent reports enrollment of 2,266; construction update, insurance and bus-cost pressures noted
Summary
Superintendent Dr. Brian Nichols reported district enrollment at 2,266 and attendance at 95.5%; he noted a $45,000 property-insurance increase and a $10,000 increase in bus costs, and Stephen Berry provided an update on the new high school construction project.
Canton ISD Superintendent Dr. Brian Nichols told the board April 21 that district enrollment as of that date was 2,266, with campus enrollment totals of CHS 624, CJH 546, CIS 526, and CES 570. He reported year-to-date attendance at 95.5% and outlined upcoming STAAR testing schedules and campus events.
Dr. Nichols also flagged near-term budgetary pressures: the agenda notes that "There will be a $45,000 increase for the 2025-26 school year" for property insurance and that "The cost of a new school bus has increased by $10,000 since 2024." In a separate presentation, Stephen Berry of Berry & Clay Construction briefed trustees on progress for the new high school and multipurpose complex; the meeting minutes do not record a construction schedule or contract dollar amounts.
