Ricardo ISD board approves Change Order #3 for additional millwork at Ricardo Elementary

At its Jan. 22, 2026 special meeting held at the Carol Radford Learning Resource Center, the Ricardo ISD board approved a construction change order to add millwork to the Ricardo Elementary addition and district phase 1.

Trustee Rosanna Arevalo moved ‘‘I move that we approve the change order #3 for the RISD Addition and Renovation to Ricardo Elementary and District Phase 1 with South Texas Building Partners for the Additional Millwork.’’ Trustee Mario Mendietta seconded the motion, which passed unanimously with a 7-0 vote (Rosanna Arevalo: Yea; Angela Bull: Yea; Carol Cannon: Yea; Lance Hamm: Yea; Mario Mendietta: Yea; Charles Saverline: Yea; Robert Zavala: Yea). The transcript records the approval but does not list a dollar amount, change-order number beyond the title, or any schedule implications; those details were not specified in the public record provided.

The change order was considered during the open session agenda under construction contract business. The board did not record additional discussion or conditions tied to the approval in the transcript. The district’s contractor on the project is listed as South Texas Building Partners and the work pertains to the RISD Addition and Renovation to Ricardo Elementary and District Phase 1.

Meeting minutes indicate the board proceeded to closed session later in the agenda; no further public debate about this change order is recorded in the transcript.
