# TCAPS Board of Education Regular Meeting 11.9.26

The TCAPS Board of Education regular meeting, held November 9, 2026, included presentation of the district’s FY2026 financial audit. The auditor reported no material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in financial-reporting controls and no draft single-audit findings for the child nutrition cluster; the final single-audit report was pending release of the federal compliance supplement. The general fund ended the year with a balance of about $14.3 million after a decrease of about $1.1 million, and districtwide fund balances totaled about $67.5 million. The auditor also reported approximately $250 million in net capital assets and $135.5 million in outstanding general-obligation bonds.

The main capital-project discussion concerned the Central High School gym renovation and reconstruction, funded through the 2024 bond. After considering community feedback, the board voted 6–1 to reaffirm Option 3—demolishing and rebuilding the gym—and add a standalone wrestling facility of approximately 3,400 square feet. The wrestling-room addition was preliminarily estimated at $750,000 to $1 million; administrators said funding could come from released project contingencies and other available amounts, but detailed design and a final cost were not yet available. The existing plan includes about $300,000 for auxiliary-gym remodeling. Administrators said further delay could push the project back about a year; the working schedule called for a January demolition-package bid, with board consideration in March, a later construction bid and approval, and anticipated building turnover around March 2029. No contract award or final bid approval occurred at this meeting. Portable courts and other temporary gym arrangements were discussed but not approved for purchase.
