The Perryton Independent School District (PISD) Board of Trustees convened on May 19, 2025, to discuss several key topics, including facility updates, educational achievements, and financial projections for the upcoming school year.

One of the primary discussions centered on the condition of school facilities. The board addressed ongoing maintenance issues, particularly in the classrooms, where carpets are scheduled for annual cleaning. Temporary solutions, such as plastic sheeting, have been implemented to mitigate tripping hazards caused by deteriorating laminate flooring. The board expressed optimism as they confirmed a bid for necessary repairs, marking a significant step forward in improving the school environment.

In a notable highlight, the board recognized the achievements of the Little Troopers program, led by Director Valerie, who announced that the program received a prestigious three-star rating from Texas Rising Star. This rating reflects the program's commitment to high-quality care and educational practices. Valerie's leadership was commended for its positive impact on children and families, and she shared plans for engaging summer activities, including science experiments and cooking classes.

Additionally, the board reviewed preliminary taxable values for the upcoming fiscal year, projecting a range between $1.1 billion and $1.2 billion based on historical trends. This financial outlook is crucial as the district prepares its budget for the 2025-2026 school year. The average daily attendance (ADA) was reported at approximately 16.50, slightly lower than budgeted.

The meeting concluded with the board entering a closed session to discuss personnel matters, real property, and attorney consultations, with no voting expected during this time. The board will reconvene in an open meeting to address any actions resulting from these discussions.
