NISD Called Board Meeting 6-9-2026

The Northside Independent School District (NISD) held a called board meeting on June 9, 2026, focusing primarily on educational assessment results and fiscal planning for the upcoming year. The board reviewed early assessment data showing promising academic gains across multiple campuses, including turnaround schools, with detailed presentations on student achievement and growth metrics. A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to discussing the fiscal year 2027 budget planning, including a comprehensive compensation package contingent on a November voter-approved tax ratification election (VADER). The package includes a 2% general pay increase, market adjustments, equity adjustments, and stipends restructuring, totaling approximately $35 million. The board also received an update on a recent bond sale, which included $100 million for new projects and $147 million in refunded bonds, resulting in $7.63 million in debt service savings. The district's strong credit ratings and financial stewardship were highlighted as positive indicators for future funding. No immediate actions were taken on budget items, as many recommendations are contingent on voter approval. The meeting concluded with routine appointments and adjournment.
