Why it matters: the position is intended to provide direct supervision and support for campus principals and to ensure district initiatives and state requirements are implemented and evaluated consistently across campuses.

Administration recommended adding the new position to the 2024–25 budget. Administration described the role as supervising and evaluating principals, coaching teachers, supporting campus improvement plans and aiding curriculum and data‑dashboard implementation. The recommendation described the role as \"direct supervision and support for all principals.\" (presentation of job description and duties.)

Board member Ms. Orfield moved to approve the new position; Mr. Ramirez seconded the motion. The motion carried. The board then approved the job description and evaluation form for the position (motion by Mr. Alito, second by Mr. Almaraz; motion carries) and later approved an updated district compensation plan that added the chief compliance and accountability officer as pay grade 9 (motion by Sue Alindo, seconded by Michelle Morales; motion carries unanimously).

Administration said the position will support implementation of district initiatives and principal supervision but clarified leadership training remains a cabinet and superintendent responsibility.

The board took these personnel and compensation steps during the budget workshop; staff will incorporate the new position into personnel and compensation planning for the coming year.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","SFDR Board Meeting - May 1, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The board approved adding a chief compliance and accountability officer to the 2024–25 budget, approved the job description and placed the position at pay grade 9 on the district compensation plan; actions were taken by motion and carried unanimously.","taxTitle","SAN FELIPE-DEL RIO CISD, School Districts, Texas","taxId",13535,"location","Texas","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6253126,"San Felipe-Del Rio CISD projects $106.9M in revenue; board reviews workbook and fund‑balance options",358,1284000,1642000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3182991-2aec02c3fc66720e1796830a786ea4fb&start=1284&end=1642","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3182991-2aec02c3fc66720e1796830a786ea4fb/thumbnail_1284000.jpg","/articles/6253126/Texas/San-Felipe-Del-Rio-CISD-projects-1069M-in-revenue-board-reviews-workbook-and-fundbalance-options","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6253126-0b4c1432998dfb959c79d4837b98be5a/orig.mp4?Expires=1770968653&Signature=WpdkJomA2DyyPI5V~j14lDAqpalJVFQmzS5f8-pKp1TRmaw-UH1c7FeDqH33rFdthu5N3Nof6DEDrr40OklFJks3d9ynUbrPWtujuZXJ3lykETbN1jDIJYvhbszPtJcW5cGao88dQlj0h0EbH-HffdjM~Oyffn1wFL7W6KM4qAakOwLcZF-xOBD9nTFhl4zAAQ8ITklTdQGKwaTuYtPqKs9p9HM9HsikKDsk0W8pxOfAmMsPW1jzU5AkeYGh68-1CJQ~g40PJYwjaOrewerZim~k8mSnpd8TGmCtVpzlLdCv1LbWoj4kMwFTRBXDq1usGH74GPe6bwgoTwt3xGhquQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Finance staff introduced the district\u0000s first look at the interactive budget workbook for fiscal year 2025–26 and outlined preliminary revenue and expenditure projections.

Why it matters: the workbook sets the baseline for how much the district can spend on raises, staffing and one‑time projects. The board will use these figures to weigh whether to restore positions, fund sustainability items or dedicate fund balance to capital and operational needs.

Finance staff member Amy Childress told trustees, “This evening we are going to take our first look at our interactive budget workbook for the 2025–26 budget year.” Using current legislative proposals as a baseline, staff presented a projected revenue total of $106,887,870 and proposed expenditures of $105,518,728, leaving a projected excess of $1,369,142.

Childress said the revenue projection represents an increase of roughly $4.5 million over the 2024–25 revenue figure. She said administration is carrying through some savings from the 2024–25 district reorganization and plans to include a proposed deputy superintendent position in the scenario but not to fund restored music, art and librarian positions at this time.

On insurance, Childress said the district currently contributes $474.49 per employee per month under recent plan changes and used a 9.5% estimate for the coming year in the worksheet, which would raise the contribution to about $519.57 per employee per month for the second half of the year.

Childress also identified pending revenue sources the district expects to add to fund balance: estimated reimbursements from wind‑farm litigation (about $71,865 in attorney‑fee reimbursement and $729,721 in supplemental taxes) and roughly $800,000 expected from additional state aid after a property‑value audit is finalized. With those additions, staff estimated an excess fund balance above the required 75 days of roughly $6,072,072 for 2024–25 and said fund balance could approach $7 million once outstanding revenues are received.

Board members repeatedly raised the tradeoffs between restoring staff and funding raises. Trustees discussed seven combined music and art positions and four librarian positions that were removed in the 2024–25 budget; Childress said those positions were not included in her initial proposed budget scenario. She said reassignments and eliminations from the district reorganization could free roughly $2 million that the board could reallocate for raises or other priorities.

Trustees also asked about specific revenue lines, including bonus and CCMR (College, Career and Military Readiness) outcomes tied to CTE certifications; Childress said CCMR bonus funding has been a recurring revenue source and estimated it in the low hundreds of thousands annually (board discussion placed that figure around $300,000, “under half a million”).

Discussion also covered prekindergarten funding. Childress said state half‑day pre‑K funding would not be sufficient to sustain the district\u0000s full‑day pre‑K program without other revenue; she said Head Start transfers to district pre‑K would not bring equivalent ADA funding and that program restructuring would be necessary if Head Start funding changed.

Trustees asked staff to prepare an additional tab in the workbook that isolates sustainability requests (from the facilities presentation) and shows scenarios funded from fund balance so board members can provide targeted feedback before the budget is finalized.

Administration said it will continue to scrub the budget, present updated worksheets and return with recommendations to the board as the legislature finalizes state funding guidance.","Finance staff presented an interactive budget workbook showing a projected $106,887,870 in revenue for 2025-26, proposed expenditures of $105,518,728, and a projected excess of $1,369,142; staff flagged pending wind‑farm litigation proceeds and state aid as additional revenues and discussed staffing and insurance assumptions.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6253131,"San Felipe-Del Rio CISD requests nearly $3M for HVAC, fencing, vehicles and repairs in sustainability plan",370,163000,533000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3182991-2aec02c3fc66720e1796830a786ea4fb&start=163&end=533","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3182991-2aec02c3fc66720e1796830a786ea4fb/thumbnail_163000.jpg","/articles/6253131/Texas/San-Felipe-Del-Rio-CISD-requests-nearly-3M-for-HVAC-fencing-vehicles-and-repairs-in-sustainability-plan","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6253131-aa25eea3d9caaa9b295507b8acacfd56/orig.mp4?Expires=1770968653&Signature=GhbSJWjfTfygWEuffmBmByzq1qNUsXvlprA9yIhMaQLnEz38Wl3Q6ytpOmwAooMpd9Dzk1uewpFktgyBS8V-40VEqo6bYIsNsrdJAcrD5YhV7DwOhf6lqsQKbzMkuxydPdLlfgXigXy41QXFhWfXdzAc4wUh2n~rYikf6qxc13MsRmWH6SgB-ZppxbhlQG9OASuYjv8GFOKrmVKf-VFTOHD7hrHehCEJ1o7QNxhyuQkGvv4IwrdDPif386zLyZOI7kBL7SyDu7vjUjPtq8jmjrUslc723HsMZJ4ny1aDgQmpMiw8N-zIP1YngCzLnK6cYkBgpnXt2OX~RYjDmMpVuQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","San Felipe-Del Rio CISD facilities staff presented a sustainability plan and asked the board of trustees to consider $2,957,220 in operations and facilities requests for the coming fiscal year.

The packet outlined HVAC work, fencing and campus repairs alongside athletics upgrades, furniture, technology refreshes and vehicle replacements. Facilities staff said the HVAC line item is $310,000 and listed campus-specific amounts, fencing for two campuses is estimated at about $450,000 this year, and roof repairs for multiple high‑school wings total $375,000.

Why it matters: the items are maintenance and safety‑related needs that district staff say stem from an equipment assessment and multiyear deferred work. Board members pressed for clarity on prior spending and on how the projects would be prioritized if the district does not receive all requested funds.

Facilities staff member Hector Chapa introduced the plan and described the scope: “The presentation includes, HVAC, fencing, athletics, campus furniture, asphalt, interior and exterior painting, technology refresh, service vehicles.” He told the board the HVAC figures come from an assessment completed earlier this year.

The district listed the HVAC total as $310,000 and gave campus breakdowns in the presentation: $70,000 for Del Rio High School; $30,000 for Cardwell Elementary; $35,000 for Chavita Elementary; $150,000 for Garfield Elementary; $5,000 for Lonnie Green; and $20,000 for Fermin Calderon. Chapa said those amounts derive from Schneider Electric’s condition assessment and reflect units classified as “poor” or “inadequate.”

On fencing, Chapa said facilities highlighted completed work in green and that this year’s red‑flag items are Blended Academy and Buena Vista Elementary, with an estimated combined cost of about $450,000.

Athletics requests include a full LED replacement of stadium lights (a previously presented, unfunded project) and $30,000 to renovate a gym floor at Phillips Bay Memorial Middle School. Campus furniture requests include $60,000 for San Felipe Memorial Middle School. Asphalt work includes a repeat request of about $100,000 to repave the warehouse parking area. Interior painting of Garfield and Lamar was listed at $210,000, and exterior painting at $60,000 for Buena Vista and $55,000 for Lamar.

Technology requests cited $15,000 for an MDF/IDF HVAC replacement closet and $60,000 to cover the district\u0000s 20% E‑rate contribution. Service vehicles line items included $150,000 to replace four maintenance vehicles (three quarter‑ton pickups), $90,000 for two patrol cars and $100,000 for two box trucks for the warehouse. Roof repairs were listed at $375,000 for several high‑school wings. The presenter gave the fiscal‑year total requested as $2,957,220.

Board members asked detailed follow‑ups. President Mesa and Trustee Rothfeld asked whether previous work at Garfield accounted for recent spending; facilities staff said much equipment dates to original installation in 2008 and that the district has been replacing two or three rooftop units when funds are available. Rothfeld asked whether the $600,000 figure referenced in prior years reflected work already done or requests; staff replied the assessment flagged original equipment and that work has been incremental.

Trustees also asked about vehicle specifications and whether replacement vehicles would be new or used; Chapa said the district would seek new, stripped‑down fleet trucks priced roughly in the mid‑$30,000s and would attempt to reuse ladder racks and other fittings from older vehicles.

During discussion of campus projects, facilities staff said special campus requests (for example, covered walkways or other principal requests) are tracked on a maintenance to‑do list and are usually billed to those campuses rather than included in the sustainability package.

Athletics staff flagged a planned turf project for practice fields at Santa Lupe Memorial and Garfield Middle School. Chapa said the geotechnical study was contracted below the board‑approval threshold; the district will need a special‑call meeting to approve design and construction contracts as those steps exceed the threshold. The board later moved to indefinitely table the consent item that would have asked approval for geotechnical work that staff said did not require board approval.

Staff also reported safety and health items: district athletics has AEDs and carries epinephrine for events; a nurse secured a program that provides EpiPens at no charge; custodial chemicals are kept under lock in custodial closets and in unused portables; and transportation staff will address concerns about an older CTE bus at the bus yard that has a broken rear window and open doors.

Board next steps: trustees discussed reviewing the sustainability workbook and considering whether to use fund balance for high‑priority items. Administration said it will present an interactive workbook in the coming weeks and that some requests may be funded from fund balance if the board chooses.","District facilities staff presented a sustainability and maintenance request totaling $2,957,220 covering HVAC replacements, fencing at two campuses, athletics lighting, campus furniture, asphalt and painting, technology HVAC, service vehicles and roof repairs; board members discussed funding and possible use of fund balance.","actionData","errors"]
