San Diego Independent School District meeting summaries, agendas, and minutes

San Diego ISD board to weigh tax rate, code of conduct at upcoming meetings

The San Diego Independent School District Board of Trustees has a busy week ahead, with two meetings scheduled to consider the 2026-27 tax rate, the student code of conduct, and several other action items. However, no decisions from recent meetings have been reported, as several were cancelled and minutes from the one meeting that was held have not yet been published.

Recent meetings

Four meetings were on the calendar in the past two weeks, but three were cancelled. A special meeting scheduled for Aug. 10 to consider ordering the Nov. 3, 2026 general election was cancelled, as was a similar special meeting on Aug. 17. A public hearing and special meeting on Aug. 19, which was to include a public hearing on the proposed 2026-27 tax rate and a possible vote on that rate, was also cancelled. That meeting had also been set to include an update from the attorney on pending litigation and consideration of a mediator's proposal in the case San Diego ISD v. Texas Descon #DC-17-222.

The only meeting that was not cancelled was a special meeting on Aug. 14, which had a single action item: consideration and possible approval to order a general election for Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2026. The agenda also included a public forum with a five-minute speaking limit per person and a possible closed session under Texas Government Code Sections 551.074 and 551.082 for employee complaints or student discipline. Minutes from that meeting have not yet been published, so no vote tally or outcome is available.

Upcoming meetings

The board is scheduled to hold a regular meeting on Aug. 26 and a special meeting on Aug. 27. Both agendas include consideration and possible approval of the 2026-27 tax rate and the 2026-27 Student Code of Conduct.

The Aug. 26 regular meeting also includes consideration of a San Diego High School Welding Shop equipment bid proposal, a Canine Contraband Detection Agreement for 2026-27, and a Financial Auditor Letter of Engagement for the fiscal period ending June 2026. The agenda includes a first reading of policy updates, a public forum, and a closed session for legal and personnel matters.

The Aug. 27 special meeting adds consideration of San Diego High School weight room floor replacement bids and a financial advisor's report on a multipurpose facility maintenance note. It also includes consideration of the mediator's proposal in San Diego v. Texas Descon #DC-17-222, and a closed session for pending litigation and personnel matters.

• **Aug. 27, 2026** – Special meeting: tax rate, student code of conduct, welding shop and weight room bids, mediator's proposal.

Both meetings are open to the public and include a public forum with a five-minute speaking limit per person.

San Diego ISD board's recent meetings focus on superintendent search, lawsuit settlement; election order on Monday

The San Diego Independent School District board met six times in the past two weeks, but no official decisions have been published because minutes are not yet available. The agendas covered a safety audit, superintendent interviews, staffing approvals, and a vote on a lawsuit settlement. The board is scheduled to meet again Monday to consider ordering the Nov. 3 general election.

Safety audit review

On July 27, the board held a safety meeting to review the final report of a safety and security audit and a three-year audit plan. No formal decisions were listed on the agenda; the items were informational only.

Superintendent search

The board held four special meetings focused on the superintendent position. On July 28, the agenda included interviews and discussion of applicants, plus possible approval of staff hires for the 2026-2027 school year: administrators, teachers and professional staff, paraprofessional/auxiliary staff, and substitute teachers. The July 29 and July 30 meetings were closed sessions for interviews and discussion; the July 30 agenda also included approval of the number of applicants to be interviewed. On Aug. 6, the board interviewed candidates and considered possible approval to select a finalist. No minutes have been published, so no selections or hires are confirmed.

Lawsuit settlement and other legal matters

On Aug. 3, the board held a closed session to vote on a mediator's proposal in San Diego ISD v. Texas Descon #DC-17-222, a pending litigation case. The agenda also included an update on action for the multipurpose facility from the Brodeur Law Firm P.C., an update on new litigation in San Diego ISD v. The Guarantee Company #DC-26-97, and an interview of a superintendent applicant with a spouse. No outcome has been published.

Coming up

On Monday, Aug. 10, the board will hold a special meeting with a single action item: consideration and possible approval to order a general election for Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2026. The meeting also includes routine procedural items such as call to order, pledges, public forum, and adjournment.

San Diego ISD board set to vote on construction lawsuit settlement; superintendent search continues

San Diego ISD trustees have no confirmed decisions to report from the past two weeks — every recent meeting is listed as agenda-only with minutes not yet published. The most consequential item on the horizon is a scheduled vote on a mediator's proposal to settle a pending construction lawsuit.

Recent meetings

The board's July 22 regular meeting was cancelled. The agenda contained procedural items and proposed actions that did not take place.

A July 27 safety meeting covered the final report of a safety and security audit and a three-year audit plan. No formal decisions were listed; both items were informational.

Three special meetings on July 28, 29, and 30 focused on the superintendent search. Agendas show the board interviewed and discussed applicants for the position in closed session. The July 28 agenda also listed possible approval of staff hires for the 2026-2027 school year, including administrators, teachers and professional staff, paraprofessional/auxiliary staff, and substitute teachers. The July 30 agenda included approval of the number of applicants to be interviewed.

Because minutes have not been published for any of these meetings, no outcomes — hires, votes, or selections — can be confirmed from the available record.

Coming up

August 3 — Special Meeting. The board will hold a closed session to discuss and vote on a mediator's proposal for *San Diego ISD v. Texas Descon*, case number DC-17-222, a pending litigation case described as a construction dispute.

The Guarantee Company*, case number DC-26-97, and an interview of a superintendent applicant with the applicant's spouse.

August 6 — Special Meeting. Trustees will interview superintendent candidates and consider possible approval to select a finalist for the position.

Both upcoming meetings are listed as upcoming agendas; final agendas and any posted minutes should be checked on the district's official site for confirmed outcomes.
