NISD Board Meeting 10-27-2026

The Northside ISD Board of Trustees held a meeting on October 27, 2026. The board unanimously authorized the board president to execute a superintendent-search services agreement with TASB; no contract value was stated. Trustees discussed possible search timelines, candidate recruitment and screening, and confidentiality, but the transcript does not show a vote on the timeline. The board also approved the consent agenda, including the superintendent goals with revisions discussed during the meeting. A notice of intent to apply for federal grants—including LASSO, LIFT, high-quality curriculum, and PREP grants—was presented for public acknowledgment; no board action or grant amounts were reported. The district also discussed Teacher Incentive Allotment expansions, noting that state-supported expansions may increase teacher eligibility and payouts while the district weighs budget and staffing capacity. No other contract awards or purchasing approvals were identified.

The board reviewed campus turnaround and targeted improvement plans, requested regular progress data, and discussed whether campuses may need additional support, including possible consultants. It also received the district’s School FIRST financial rating of 98 out of 100. The meeting included discussion of health-insurance costs and a future report on insurance and compensation timelines, but no related purchasing decision was made. The board unanimously approved termination of a probationary contract and adjourned after closed session.
