CISD Regular Board Meeting - September 22, 2026

The Canutillo Independent School District (CISD) held its regular board meeting on September 22, 2026, where several procurement and budget-related matters were discussed. Key procurement topics included the approval of the School Health Advisory Council (SHAC) annual report and new health-related curricula, which the board approved unanimously. The board also authorized a cash defeasance related to outstanding district debt and held a public hearing on the district's tax rate, ultimately approving a slightly reduced tax rate for fiscal year 2027. Additionally, the board discussed the need for a new facilities condition assessment to identify maintenance and operational priorities, with a contract proposed for approximately $48,750 to Procedio for this work. Concerns were raised about the use of bond interest funds and the timing of the assessment in relation to potential future bond elections. The board also addressed issues with a vendor contract related to district branding and marketing services, debating payment approval amid incomplete deliverables and ethical concerns about procurement communications. Finally, the board considered and approved the award of a request for proposal (RFP) for stop-loss insurance coverage to Gallagher, with discussions on employee health plan options and committee representation. Motions were passed to ratify payments, approve contracts, and set tax rates, reflecting active governance over district financial and procurement activities.
