Board approves professional development plan and Texas Mentorship Program support

Sonora Independent School District Board of Trustees · July 27, 2026

Summary

Sonora ISD trustees adopted the annual professional development plan and heard details about the Texas Mentorship Program to support first- and second-year teachers.

The Sonora ISD board approved the district's annual professional development plan and heard a presentation on the Texas Mentorship Program, which the district described as support aimed at strengthening instruction for teachers in their first two years.

Trustee Cynthia Perez moved to approve the professional development plan as presented; Trustee Colby Bates seconded and the motion passed unanimously. Earlier in the meeting, Katie Ruiz, student services coordinator, explained the Texas Mentorship Program's purpose and how it supports first- and second-year teachers. The meeting record states the professional development plan included no substantive changes from the prior year.

District staff also reviewed the ESSA translation policy and the Parent and Family Engagement Policy during the same agenda block, and presented the Texas School Safety Center three-year audit (2023–2026) identifying items the district should address. Trustees approved the PD plan and asked no additional questions at the meeting.
