EPISD agendas list $253,132.00 budget amendment and 50-acre surplus parcel; no vote records published yet
None of the four El Paso Independent School District meeting entries from the past two weeks includes published minutes, so no votes, approvals or final commitments are recorded here. Three are Board of Trustees agendas — an Oct. 12 board briefing, an Oct. 13 meeting and an Oct. 20 meeting — covering largely the same list of proposed action items. The fourth is an Audit Committee agenda. What follows is what the agendas list for consideration, not what the board decided.
About 50 acres of surplus land
All three board agendas list a proposed sale or lease of approximately 50 acres of surplus real property, identified as the "HS-5 Parcel" at Sean Haggerty Dr. and Loma Real Avenue. The Oct. 12 briefing describes it as a proposed declaration of surplus and sale. The materials do not state a price, a buyer, or terms.
$253,132.00 budget amendment
A budget amendment of $253,132.00 is listed for counseling, transportation, facilities, security and staff development. The Oct. 12 briefing frames it as a proposal headed to the Oct. 20 meeting.
Contracts and purchases on the agendas
- Food and Nutrition Services point-of-sale software from Cybersoft Technologies, Inc., $252,958.00.
- Certiport online curriculum platforms and exams for career and technical education students, $177,869.00.
- Coldwell Elevator Rehabilitation, listed on the Oct. 20 agenda as a contract awarded to Noble General Contractors, LLC, $127,286.00.
Each of these appears as an agenda item. The materials do not show a recorded vote or an executed contract for any of them.
Financial rating hearing and legislative priorities
The Oct. 13 and Oct. 20 agendas list a public hearing on the district's Schools Financial Integrity Rating System of Texas (FIRST) report. The Oct. 20 agenda also lists consideration of legislative priorities for the 90th Texas Legislative Session. The district's rating under the FIRST report is not stated in the materials provided.
Audit Committee
An Audit Committee entry dated Oct. 22 lists a single item, an Internal Audit Activity Report. Its summary says the meeting is scheduled for Oct. 29, 2026 — a date outside the past-14-day window and not included in the upcoming-meetings list supplied.
What residents can take from this
The agenda items touch district operations funding, food service software, career and technical education testing materials, elevator work at Coldwell, and the possible disposal of roughly 50 acres on the East Side. Agendas list items for consideration; they do not establish that an item passed or that money was spent. Minutes for these meetings had not been published in the records provided.
Coming up
The upcoming-meetings list supplied for the next 14 days is empty. The only future date mentioned anywhere in the materials is the Oct. 29, 2026 Audit Committee meeting referenced in that committee's summary. Residents who want to attend should confirm the date, time and location with the district; the records provided do not include them.
