June Board Workshop 2026

The June 8, 2026, Boerne ISD Board Workshop focused primarily on budget discussions and policy considerations affecting the school district. Key procurement-related topics included a proposal for voluntary background checks for board trustees and candidates, emphasizing transparency and accountability, though no immediate adoption occurred as further legal guidance was sought. The board reviewed enrollment projections for the 2026-2027 school year, noting a slight shortfall in early education registrations but overall stable numbers. A significant capital improvement project discussed was the structural safety and future plans for the iconic leaning wall at Boerne High School, with community feedback guiding next steps and vendor contract considerations. The workshop also covered compensation scenarios for staff, presenting two options with associated costs ranging from approximately $700,000 to $2 million in increased expenditures, highlighting the district's efforts to remain competitive in teacher salaries. Budget building blocks were reviewed, projecting revenues of $120.3 million and potential deficits depending on compensation choices, with conservative revenue estimates and historical budgeting practices noted. The board discussed the debt service fund and child nutrition fund budgets, emphasizing balanced budgets and fiscal responsibility. No formal votes were recorded during this workshop, but several action items related to vendor contracting for the wall project and budget adoption were outlined for future meetings.
