Board Work Session | June 18, 2026

The Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District Board of Trustees convened a work session on June 18, 2026, primarily to review and discuss agenda items for the upcoming regular board meeting. Key procurement-related discussions included the approval of the 2026-2027 general operating budget, which highlighted a projected $31.7 million deficit and the need for potential revenue increases through a voter-approved tax rate election (VATRE). The board considered budget allocations for staff compensation, including a one-time $500 stipend and proposed contingent stipends tied to VATRE approval. Additional procurement topics included contract extensions with Cy-Fair Federal Credit Union for missed school days waiver, approval of hazardous traffic conditions resolution for supplemental transportation funding, and the expansion of AFJROTC programs with associated costs and federal reimbursements. The board also discussed cooperative purchasing fees, investment policy resolutions, and the upcoming efficiency audit mandated by the legislature to identify potential cost savings. Policy revisions related to student activities, parent rights, and data privacy were reviewed, with emphasis on compliance and transparency. The meeting concluded with motions to move certain items to non-consent for further discussion and a closed session to address personnel matters.
