AISD Board Meeting 11/9/26

At its November 9, 2026, regular meeting, the Alice ISD Board approved a $2.5 million transfer from the general fund balance to the capital projects fund. The funds are intended to support turfing baseball and softball fields and replacement of aging HVAC units across the district. The presentation also identified approximately $254,000 in remaining 2024 bond funds; the district expects to retain about $20 million in fund balance after the transfer, roughly 4.2 months of operating expenses. Turf work is planned after the 2027 season, with HVAC replacements starting once the transfer is complete. The board approved the transfer by vote; no vendor or contract award was identified in the transcript.

The board also approved the purchase of computer carts with 25 laptops for automotive and health science CTE classes at an estimated cost of $53,924, funded through a Perkins grant rather than the local budget. It approved an agreement with the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley for free virtual behavioral health services, with equipment and training provided at no cost to the district. Separately, the superintendent reported that batting-cage materials had been ordered and that project paperwork was being finalized, with a notice to proceed anticipated the following week. Other meeting business included academic and program updates, campus plans, and recognition of students and staff.
