Spur Independent School District meeting summaries, agendas, and minutes

Spur ISD board weighs budget, bus purchase, and security measures; decisions await minutes

The Spur Independent School District board held four meetings between July 27 and August 5, 2026, covering budget, security, and personnel matters. According to the agendas, no formal decisions have been recorded; minutes for these meetings have not yet been published.

Regular Meeting – July 27

The board's regular meeting agenda included appointing a replacement trustee for District 5 following the resignation of Matt Humphreys, renewing a good-cause exception for campus security standards under Texas Education Code 37.0814, approving the purchase of a handicap-accessible school bus, adopting resolutions authorizing employees to carry concealed handguns under the Guardian Plan, and approving the 2026-2027 Employee Handbook and Student Code of Conduct.

Budget Workshop – July 27

A separate budget workshop was held the same day to review the proposed 2026-27 district budget. No formal decisions were listed on the agenda; votes were expected to occur in a future open meeting.

Safety and Security Committee – July 28

The committee met to review the updated Emergency Operations Plan, a three-year audit report, a district vulnerability assessment, Safe and Supportive Schools Program data, and weekly door sweeps.

Special Meeting – August 5

The board considered adopting a proposed tax rate based on Certified Taxable Values and setting a public hearing date for the 2026-27 budget and proposed tax rate. These items are relevant to district taxpayers, as the tax rate and budget will affect local property taxes and school funding.

Coming up

No upcoming meetings are scheduled in the next 14 days.

Spur ISD board set to act on trustee appointment, budget, security, and bus purchase; tax rate discussion ahead

The Spur Independent School District board had a full slate of business scheduled for its July 27, 2026, regular meeting, including appointing a replacement trustee, acting on a budget amendment, and considering the purchase of a handicap-accessible school bus. However, minutes from that meeting and two other recent district meetings have not yet been published, so the outcomes of those agenda items are not yet part of the public record.

What was on the July 27 regular meeting agenda

The board was scheduled to act on several items:

• **Trustee appointment:** Appoint a replacement trustee for District 5 following the resignation of Matt Humphreys.
• **Security exception:** Renew the district's good-cause exception for campus security standards under Texas Education Code 37.0814.
• **School bus:** Approve purchase of a handicap-accessible school bus.
• **Guardian Plan:** Adopt resolutions authorizing employees to carry concealed handguns under the Guardian Plan.
• **Handbooks:** Approve the 2026-2027 Employee Handbook and Student Code of Conduct.

Because minutes have not been published, it is not yet confirmed which of these items were approved, tabled, or modified.

Budget workshop held same day

Also on July 27, the board held a budget workshop to review the proposed district budget for the upcoming fiscal year. The agenda listed no formal decisions for that session; any votes on the budget would occur at a future open meeting.

Safety and Security Committee met July 28

The district's Safety and Security Committee met July 28 to review several safety-related items, including:

• Updated Emergency Operations Plan Annual Review
• Three Year Audit Report
• District Vulnerability Assessment
• Safe and Supportive Schools Program Data
• Weekly Door Sweeps

Minutes for this meeting have also not been published, so the committee's findings and any recommendations are not yet on the record.

Why this matters to residents

The trustee appointment fills a vacant seat representing District 5 after Matt Humphreys' resignation. The budget amendment and the upcoming tax-rate discussion directly affect district spending and local school taxes. The handicap-accessible bus purchase relates to student transportation services. The security items — the Guardian Plan resolutions and the good-cause exception renewal — concern campus safety policy.

Coming up

The board has scheduled a Special Meeting for August 5, 2026, where trustees will deliberate on adopting a proposed tax rate based on Certified Taxable Values and consider setting a public hearing date for the 2026-27 budget and proposed tax rate. Residents interested in school funding and property tax rates may want to attend or follow that meeting.
