3.B. Discuss and Consider Action to Approve Representatives for Lone Star Investment Pool
Presenter:
Amanda Smith, Chief Financial Officer
Description:
The personnel change in the financial services department brings with it a need to update the authorized representatives at the district's investment pool.
This shift can only be granted by the board and is done by approving the resolution included with this action item. The only changes are 1) to add Bianca Garcia to the list of authorized users with view-only access (the outgoing employee has already been removed via a different form that did not require board approval) and 2) update the title for Presleigh Zella. |
3.C. Discuss and Consider Action to Set the PreKindergarten Tuition Rate for the 2024-25 School Year
Presenter:
Amanda Smith, Chief Financial Officer; Dr. Elmer Avellaneda, Superintendent of Schools
Description:
Texas Education Code (TEC) § 29.1531 authorizes school districts to offer Pre-K classes on a tuition basis. Each year, the tuition rate must be approved by the Commissioner of Education and cannot exceed a proposed rate published annually by TEA. TEA tuition rates for 2024-25 have not yet been released (anticipated release date June 2024); however, the 2023-24 tuition rate is available and is $7,559.
Administration recommends submitting a rate of $5,150 to the Commissioner. This would be no change from the current 2023-24 rate. |
