10.20.26 B.O.E. Work Session

The Germantown Municipal School District Board of Education’s October work session, held October 21, 2026, reviewed the annual TISA accountability report and district improvement goals. The goals cover literacy, Algebra I readiness, and college and career readiness through 2028–29, with spending intended to align with those priorities. Board members discussed the risk of setting ambitious targets and the report’s public-feedback process; staff said feedback would be solicited through a survey and at the upcoming business meeting. No vote on the report is shown in the transcript.

The board also discussed budget amendment No. 10, recognizing a $96,000 rollover from the 2025–26 public school safety grant and a $60,000 grant award for 2026–27. Staff said funds are generally used to replace or add security cameras and purchase emergency reunification supplies. Budget amendment No. 11 recognizes $10 million allocated by the City for the Houston High master plan, including cafeteria renovation and expansion and fine arts renovation; the City indicated the funds should be available October 28 after its bond sale. The transcript does not show votes or contract awards on these amendments.
