Cotulla ISD July 20 meeting cancelled; July 30 agendas list housing, safety, and budget items
Cotulla ISD residents have no confirmed board decisions to review from the past two weeks, as the district's July 20 regular meeting was cancelled and minutes from the July 30 special meeting and budget workshop have not yet been published. The July 30 agendas, however, outline several significant items the board was set to consider, including property tax exemptions for affordable housing, a school resource officer agreement, and the 2026–27 budget and salaries.
July 20 Regular Meeting Cancelled
The Cotulla Independent School District board meeting scheduled for July 20, 2026, was cancelled. No official business, votes, or decisions were conducted. The agenda listed only procedural items and presentations, none of which required action.
July 30 Special Meeting Agenda
The board was scheduled to meet on July 30, 2026, to consider several financial and policy items. Because minutes are not yet published, it is not confirmed which items were decided. The agenda listed the following for discussion and possible action:
- **Affordable housing development:** The board was set to discuss and possibly act on an affordable housing development with potential property tax exemptions or abatements. This item involves potential changes to district property tax revenue and housing options in the area.
- **School Resource Officer MOU:** The board considered a memorandum of understanding (MOU) for a School Resource Officer program with the La Salle County Sheriff’s Department. This agreement relates to school safety and law enforcement staffing in district schools.
- **Budget Amendment 26-107:** The board considered approval of Budget Amendment 26-107, which adjusts district spending for the current fiscal cycle.
- **2026–27 Salaries:** The board considered approval of 2026–27 salaries for administrators, teachers, paraprofessionals, and staff, determining compensation for district employees in the upcoming school year.
- **Student Code of Conduct:** The board considered approval of the 2026–27 Student Code of Conduct, which sets rules for student behavior and disciplinary procedures.
The board was also set to hear district reports on safety, construction, and finances, and may have acted on routine items such as the student code of conduct and senior trip approval.
July 30 Budget Workshop Agenda
Also on July 30, the board held a budget workshop to review financial matters for the 2026 fiscal year. The workshop focused on reviewing proposed compensation and stipends before final budget decisions. Items on the workshop agenda included:
- Review of salaries for administrators, teachers, paraprofessionals, and auxiliary staff.
- Review of extra-curricular, academic, economic equity stipends, and other recommended stipends.
- Review of substitute teacher pay.
- Board training for budget processes.
- Review of other budgetary matters.
