# Regular Board Meeting - October 21, 2026

The United Independent School District Board of Trustees’ regular meeting on October 21, 2026, included approval of the consent agenda, which covered monthly disbursements and awarding bids, qualifications, and extensions; the transcript provides no specific vendors, contract values, or bid details. The board also approved a one-time retention incentive for full-time special education unit aides for the 2026–27 school year. Administrators said it would be funded from budgeted vacant positions without a budget impact; the estimated total was $174,700 if all current and vacant positions were included, with $139,950 for 252 current employees. The board separately approved donations totaling $37,256.21.

The board authorized legal counsel to proceed as discussed in closed session on a proposal to offer for sale the surface-only interest in an approximately 20-acre district-owned tract, and on a right of entry for surveying and site assessment requested by U.S. Border Patrol and Customs and Border Protection. The meeting also recognized outgoing trustees and highlighted a newly opened child nutrition program building developed in collaboration with TxDOT, but no related contract or purchasing action was specified. Motions on the recorded items passed; the transcript does not provide details of individual bid awards or extensions.
