The presenter said the series being refunded had outstanding maturities originally scheduled from 2026 through 2041, with a total outstanding principal of about $43.9 million as of Aug. 1. After the refunding, the new outstanding principal at closing will be approximately $40.2 million. The presenter told the board the refunding produced a true interest cost of about 3.896%, below the previously estimated figure and below 4%.

The presenter described a gross debt-service savings of about $4.3 million and explained that the district will apply defeasance payments totaling $725,000 at close and another $725,000 for fiscal year 2026; after those prepayments the district calculated net savings of approximately $3.6 million. The presenter said annual interest savings of roughly $300,000 are expected for many years between 2027 and 2040, with a smaller savings in the final 2041 maturity year.

Board members were told the district sought and used delegated pricing authority to time the market amid uncertain municipal supply and Federal Reserve rate signals. The presenter said the market conditions in late May produced more favorable pricing than the district had projected in April, improving projected savings by about $428,000 relative to the April estimate.

The presentation was informational; no vote or new authorization was recorded at the June 9 meeting. Board members expressed appreciation for the reported savings.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","TISD Regular School Board Meeting – June 9, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","District finance staff reported that a refunding of 2016 bond maturities will reduce outstanding principal from roughly $43.9 million to $40.2 million, produce a true interest cost under 4% and generate about $3.6 million in net savings after prepayments.","taxTitle","TEMPLE ISD, School Districts, Texas","taxId",38369,"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},6204018,"Temple ISD notifies board of $3,200 grant for dyslexia therapist training",46,1499000,1545000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3780824-71fac90fb6fc3f63f5f3c41de897e927&start=1499&end=1545","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3780824-71fac90fb6fc3f63f5f3c41de897e927/thumbnail_1499000.jpg","/articles/6204018/Texas/Temple-ISD-notifies-board-of-3200-grant-for-dyslexia-therapist-training","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6204018-30b4f05f75aee13a755032c54a3b6b82/orig.mp4?Expires=1770838255&Signature=I8~WIl7dQEriSCKJqmxoYJpSNX7AltVE2pLRAOfS6KW9w1DY9UPs9Wwa4pWexAswoKE20WFSTaxNh4wU0vGQmHyKpFsjG6nI03ZsaVc7AlebQra12Eu9xHbOhFGVCr0BYPoPJTOr2mXyl83kS6lga59M1mSAMMbUtdL3Z9e3qu3ahCOcOIx-d6C6G2sZMu11i6kZsE~RBrSo4ouiWDGTjaGB08f3-0ujyXUkxRmXa7jLH57DrMx7XK6Jxf4i5QGkiR0-X1mOTSigPJy-Tj7lKR3lxlAGQWHig-huHEp2Vc90ZYFzeHJpuB-HpNWgbqwqu~GUO6pVEGtpoZrKnp9SHw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Temple ISD informed the board on June 9 that the district received a $3,200 grant from the San Marcus Civic Foundation to fund training for a newly hired dyslexia therapist.

\"Our vision is to engage, prepare, and inspire students,\" Bartlett said as she outlined program goals, enrollment and recent accomplishments. She said Temple High School offers access to 13 of 14 programs of study identified by the Texas Education Agency and that more than 90% of Temple High School students can enroll in at least one CTE course.

The presentation gave several concrete measures of growth: the class of 2025 earned 372 industry-based certifications in fields that Bartlett listed, including certified medical assistants, certified nursing assistants, pharmacy technicians, cosmetology licenses and machining and welding credentials. The district reported that roughly 250 students advanced to state and national competitions and that about 250 tax returns were completed by students volunteering through the VITA program, returning roughly $300,000 to community members.

Bartlett also described hands-on projects that serve community needs and generate revenue for programs. The culinary program completed 32 catering events and returned about $42,000 to the program for student activities and field trips, she said. Students worked on tiny-house projects — one completed earlier and two more in progress — where students take part in design, materials procurement and construction; the tiny-house work was previously recognized by a resolution from a board member's office and a ribbon cutting.

The director outlined partnerships and workplace connections that support internships and paid opportunities; she said two students already have paid summer internships at local partner MTC and that the district aims to expand such placements. Bartlett said the department’s outreach to middle and elementary schools has been redesigned to be more hands-on, with student ambassadors leading interactive activities at career days to improve early exposure to pathways.

Board members praised the program’s regional recognition and asked clarifying questions. Bartlett told the board she will continue strengthening counselor collaboration, expanding internships and refining instructional strategies for teachers who come from industry backgrounds.

Looking ahead, Bartlett said the department will continue recruitment, add partner relationships, and work on scaling internship and mentorship opportunities so students can transition more seamlessly into the local labor market.","Sarah Bartlett, Temple ISD director of career and technical education, told the board the district expanded CTE participation, produced 372 industry certifications for the class of 2025, and increased employer partnerships, internships and revenue-generating student programs.","actionData","errors"]
