TCAPS Board Executive Committee Meeting 10.1.26

The TCAPS Board Executive Committee met on October 1, 2026. Members approved the September 3 committee minutes and the agendas for the October 12 regular board meeting and October 26 study session. The committee discussed a possible community meeting about options for the Central High School gym, including obtaining preliminary designs and bleacher cost information first; no project or spending decision was made. The study session is expected to cover academic data and potential student interventions, including extended or summer-year programming, with costs and available funding among the considerations. Members also discussed whether future full-board meetings should be held in the current room; staff said audio and speaker upgrades would be needed, but no purchase was approved.

The superintendent reported multiple vacant school support and food-service positions, including aides, an extended-day manager, and a school nurse. The additional nursing position is supported by grant funding, with TCAPS and NMCAA sharing the cost; carryover funds must be spent this year. No contracts, vendor selections, bids, or procurement awards were identified.
