Comfort ISD authorizes emergency procurement for facility repairs under Texas Education Code

Comfort Independent School District Board of Trustees · June 29, 2026

Summary

Trustees determined structural damage constituted an unforeseen operational failure and authorized the superintendent to use emergency procurement exceptions under Texas Education Code §44.031(h); the motion passed 7-0 on June 29.

At the June 29 special meeting the board found that structural damage to district facilities constituted a major unforeseen operational or structural failure and authorized the Superintendent to procure and execute contracts necessary for repair or replacement using the emergency procurement exception in Texas Education Code §44.031(h).

Larry Thayn moved the determination and authorization; Kristina Patton seconded. The motion passed unanimously, 7-0. The motion's text as recorded in the minutes states the authorization is limited to procurements necessary to avoid preventing or substantially impairing classes or other essential school activities.

The minutes do not detail the specific facility, the estimated cost, or the vendor selection; the authorization delegates emergency procurement authority to the Superintendent consistent with the statutory emergency exception.
