Aledo ISD board to weigh budget, tax rate as recent meeting outcomes remain unpublished
The Aledo ISD Board of Trustees has a full slate of meetings this month, including a special meeting on Aug. 24 to consider adopting the 2026-27 budget and setting the tax rate. No votes from recent meetings have been confirmed because minutes have not yet been published, so all items listed below are pending action.
Recent meetings: agenda items only
Aug. 10 special meeting — The board was scheduled to consider and vote on several agreements and policies, including the Parker County Juvenile Justice Alternative Education Program (JJAEP) memorandum of understanding for 2026-27, the 2026-27 Student Code of Conduct, a teacher preparation field placement agreement with Weatherford College for 2026-29, and a floor replacement at Aledo Middle School's multi-purpose center. The agenda also included an executive session for personnel, legal, real property, and student matters.
Aug. 10 workshop — The board was set to discuss the 2026-27 budget, led by CFO Earl Husfeld, and then enter executive session for personnel, attorney consultation, real property, and student privacy matters. Public comment was also on the agenda.
Aug. 17 regular meeting — The board was scheduled to consider approval of the consent agenda, which included financial reports, an attendance credit purchase agreement related to state recapture, and several resolutions. Action items included technology license and warranty renewals, Board Policy Update 127, an extension of an exclusive license and supplier agreement with The American Bottling Company, and resolutions on the extracurricular status of 4-H and adjunct faculty agreements for Parker and Tarrant counties. The board also heard reports on the district instructional focus and the 2025-26 safety audit, and entered executive session.
Because minutes for these meetings have not been published, no official vote tallies or decisions are available.
Upcoming: budget and tax rate adoption
The board will hold a special meeting on Aug. 24 with a public hearing on the proposed 2026-27 budget and tax rate, followed by consideration of:
- Adoption of the 2026-27 fiscal year budget
- Adoption of the tax rate for 2026-27
- Approval of final amended budgets for 2025-26
- An addendum to an interlocal agreement with the Property Casualty Alliance of Texas
The meeting also includes an executive session for personnel, legal, real property, and student information matters.
This is the most consequential item on the calendar because it sets the district's spending and tax levy for the coming year.
Coming up
