United ISD board schedules November election, weighs stop-loss insurance re-award
United ISD's Board of Trustees has a busy stretch of meetings centered on the November 2026 trustee election, a potential re-award of the district's stop-loss insurance contract, and a security review. Because minutes have not yet been published for any of the recent meetings, all items below reflect what was posted on the agendas; the district has not yet confirmed what actions were taken.
November 2026 election on the table
At its July 22 regular meeting, the Board was scheduled to consider the order of election for Districts 3, 5, and 6 for the November 3, 2026 election. Trustees were also set to vote on a contract with the Webb County Elections Administrator to administer that election.
Other July 22 agenda items included:
- Designation of Elizabeth Garza to calculate the 2026 tax rate.
- A budget amendment and monthly disbursements for July 2026.
- Possible action to rescind and re-award the Stop Loss Insurance Award under RFP 2026-001.
- Discussion of 2026–2027 school year goals.
Stop-loss insurance: rescind and re-award
The Board held a special called meeting July 29 focused on a single action item: whether to rescind the current Stop Loss Insurance Award for RFP 2026-001, covering ASO Self-Insured Health Benefits and Stop Loss Insurance Coverage, and re-award it to the next highest-ranked proposer. The same meeting included a presentation of the 2026–2027 budget update.
The stop-loss insurance question also appeared on the July 22 regular meeting agenda, indicating the Board has been weighing the contract across multiple sessions. No vote tally or dollar figure was included in the agenda materials provided.
Safety and Security Committee meets
Also on July 29, the district's Safety and Security Committee met to discuss findings from an Intruder Detection Audit (IDA) report and conduct the annual review of the District Multi-hazard Emergency Operations Plan (EOP).
The committee was scheduled to adjourn into closed session to deliberate on security devices and audits, then reconvene for possible action on the annual EOP review. No outcome has been confirmed.
Coming up
August 5 — Special Called Meeting. The Board may vote on the appointment of a principal at United High School. Trustees are also scheduled to review a Tax and Revenue Anticipation Notes issuance and receive another presentation of the 2026–2027 budget update.
Residents who want to follow the stop-loss insurance decision, the November election setup, or the United High School principal appointment should watch for the district to post minutes from the July 22, July 29, and August 5 meetings. Until those minutes are available, the agendas are the authoritative record of what was planned for discussion.
