Description:  To offer Dual Enrollment OnRamps courses through the University of Texas, a district must sign an Interlocal agreement each year.  Ideally, this happens prior to the start of the school year.  The interlocal agreement was initially sent to a person no longer in the district but has now been delivered.

Description:  Administration will present Gonzales ISD's plan to apply for a delay in implementing House Bill 2 (HB2) certification requirements.  The delay allows the District to stabilize its current workforce while transitioning uncertified teachers to full certification through a structured, phased compliance plan.  The approach reduces the risk of staffing shortages, ensures instructional continuity, and aligns district practices with new state requirements while supporting educators' progress toward certification.

Description:  Adoption of the current points on the Lone Star Governance Progress tracker formally acknowledges the district's progess in implementing the Lone Star Governance framework and provides a transparent benchmark for continuous improvement.  The current total of 15 points reflects the completed governance actions aligned with student outcome focus, effective use of time, and systems oversight.

By adopting these points, the Board reinforces its commitment to monitoring governance effectiveness through measurable milestones and shared accountability.  Establishing a goal of 38 points for the next quarter sets a clear, time-bound expectation for continued implementation, supports strategic prioritization of governance work, and aligns Board actions with district leadership efforts.

This action enures consistent tracking of governance progress, promotes clarity in expectations and supports the Board's role in driving improved student outcomes through effective governance practices.

Description:  The vision reflects the board's commitment to excellence in educational governance and its belief that strong leadership and oversight are essential to student success.

The mission articulates how the board advances its vision by directly supporting educational leaders and students.

Description:  The terms of office for D'Anna Robinson (District 3), Ross Hendershot (District 5), and Ashley Molina (District 6) will expire in May 2026.  Accordingly, the Board is required to all an election to fill these positions.

The proposed Notice and Order of Election for Gonzales Independent School District Single-Member Districts 3,5, and 6 are included for Board consideration on the following pages.

The Board has approved the use of the Gonzales County Election Administrator to conduct the election.  As a result, the May 2, 2026 election will be conducted as a countywide election.  Due to the inclusion of Constitutional Amendments on the ballot, all political entities holding elections on that date are required to utilize county-designated polling locations.
