2026-09-21 Tyler ISD School Board Meeting

The Tyler ISD Board of Trustees meeting, dated September 21, 2026 (recorded September 22 UTC), included discussion of a proposed 2026–27 internal audit plan. The plan includes a review of the district’s cybersecurity vendor contracts for data privacy, confidentiality, breach-notification, and security provisions; the transcript does not record a vote approving the plan or any contract award. Trustees also discussed Head Start’s federal funding: the program serves up to 200 children, has 18 on its waitlist, and is awaiting notice to apply for spring funding. The board requested comparisons of grant sizes in similarly sized districts. A $5,637.20 donation from the Tyler High School football club was approved, and the board approved exploring the establishment of a Tyler ISD virtual school; no related purchasing or contract decisions were specified.

Other business included reports on disciplinary placements, enrollment and class sizes, college-readiness and career certifications, teacher designations, and proposed policy changes. Trustees discussed teacher-certification requirements under the district’s innovation plan and changes to grievance procedures, but no final policy adoption was recorded. The board also voted on personnel matters and an amendment to the superintendent’s contract. No competitive solicitations, bid approvals, or vendor selections were identified.
