Regular AHISD School Board Meeting - August 19, 2026

The Alamo Heights Independent School District (AHISD) School Board held a regular meeting on August 19, 2026, focusing on academic performance, strategic planning, bond issuance, and employee health insurance. The board reviewed the district's strong academic achievements, including high AP scores and SAT results, while identifying math as an area for improvement. A new strategic plan was presented to guide the district's future direction. Significant discussion centered on the upcoming issuance of $65 million in bonds as part of a $371 million election approved in 2023, with detailed explanations of debt service schedules, tax rates, and refinancing options. The board also approved a motion authorizing the superintendent to enter into a contract related to state recapture tax payments. Additionally, a new employee health insurance plan was proposed, featuring a high-performance provider network (Imagine 360), pharmacy benefit management improvements, and a Samaritan Fund to manage high-cost claims, projected to save the district approximately $1.5 million annually. Capital improvement projects, including classroom refurbishments and new cafeteria spaces, were also highlighted. No formal votes on bond issuance occurred, but the board discussed financial strategies and approved the recapture payment method.
