Board agenda includes Low Attendance Waiver request for Sulphur Springs Middle School

Sulphur Springs Independent School District’s June 16 agenda included an item to consider a Low Attendance Waiver for Sulphur Springs Middle School for the dates Jan. 27–30, 2025. Low attendance waivers are typically requests submitted to the Texas Education Agency to excuse missed instructional days from the minimum-day requirements or to count alternate days; the agenda lists the waiver request but does not include the district’s justification, attendance data, or any board action in the supplied transcript excerpt. The agenda identifies Dr. Deana Steeber in connection with action items, but the materials provided do not show whether the board voted to approve the waiver or what documentation was submitted to the state on behalf of the district. To confirm the district’s action and view supporting documentation, consult the board minutes, the district’s attendance reports, or the waiver application submitted to the Texas Education Agency.
