Socorro ISD Board of Trustees Regular Board Meeting – October 20th, 2026 @ 6:00 PM

The Socorro ISD Board of Trustees held its regular meeting on October 20, 2026. The main budget-related discussion concerned the district’s employee health fund and proposed 2027 plan rates. Staff presented three funding scenarios: a fully funded option, a limited employee-rate increase that could leave an estimated deficit of just under $5.2 million, and a fully funded option with a $5 million district contribution, increasing the district contribution by $94.50 per employee per month. Prescription benefit changes were also discussed. These were presented for consideration, not approved; recommendations are scheduled for a special meeting on November 5. Trustees emphasized balancing employee affordability with the district’s financial constraints and long-term goal of building a health-fund surplus. The consent agenda was approved by motion and vote, but the transcript does not identify a specific procurement award or purchase within it.

The board also reviewed early-literacy performance, heard public comments, and received an update that findings from a districtwide intruder-detection audit would be discussed in executive session. No specific contracts, vendors, bids, or capital-project purchases were identified, and no procurement action was taken in the transcript.
