The Auditors will present the 2024-2025 Financial Audit Report.

The Annual Financial Audit requires Board approval.

The Board is asked to approve the purchase of cheer uniforms and required camp expenses for the upcoming school year. Estimated costs are approximately $2,500 per high school student athlete and $1,400 per junior high student athlete, with total expenses estimated at up to $75,000 based on participation following tryouts.

All costs are paid in full by parents and reimbursed to Snyder ISD. Board approval is required to place orders in advance to meet vendor deadlines, and students may not attend camp or participate until payment is received.

Following the recent bond election, the District proposes establishing a Facilities Assessment Committee to engage stakeholders in reviewing facility needs and priorities. The committee’s purpose is to listen, learn, and inform internal action steps and budget decisions to maximize student impact within current financial constraints.

All community members who expressed interest will be invited to participate, ensuring broad representation and diverse perspectives. The committee will provide input and recommendations as the District evaluates how best to address ongoing facility needs despite limited available resources.

The District proposes establishing a Superintendent Student Advisory Committee to provide direct student voice in district-level leadership decisions. Students from all campuses who applied will be invited to serve, ensuring broad representation and a diversity of perspectives.

The committee will offer input to inform leadership actions and decision-making, allowing the District to better align priorities with student experiences and needs. This initiative reflects the District’s commitment to meaningful student engagement, and we are excited to launch this collaborative opportunity.

The District proposes establishing a Superintendent’s Community Advisory Committee to better understand community perceptions, challenges, and areas of frustration related to district operations and services. The committee will serve as a structured forum to listen, learn, and improve how the District does business.

All community members who expressed interest will be invited to participate, ensuring diverse perspectives. While the committee is advisory and not a decision-making body, input gathered will help inform district leadership and support solution-oriented improvements aligned to student and community needs.

The Board will review two options in response to Senate Bill 11, codified in Texas Education Code § 25.0823, which requires each board of trustees to take a recorded vote on whether to adopt a policy providing a daily period of prayer and reading of religious texts.

One option would adopt a daily, voluntary prayer period outside instructional time with safeguards to protect student and employee choice, prevent coercion, and maintain district neutrality. The second option would decline to adopt the statutory prayer period while affirming that student and employee religious expression remains protected under existing law and district policy.

This item is presented to support Board understanding of statutory requirements and available options prior to the required record vote.

Current compensation for bus drivers is structured at $30 per hour for route travel and $15 per hour for field trips. In February, we will be recommending a revision to the compensation plan to establish a uniform hourly rate of $30 for all bus driver work, including both route travel and field trips, to improve equity, recruitment, and retention.

Snyder ISD, in partnership with the Snyder Police Department, currently has three School Resource Officers (SROs) serving the district. To enhance campus safety and align with HB3 requirements, the district will propose in February  increasing to four SROs for the 2026-2027 school year.  

The Board will receive information regarding Team of 8 training options designed to support effective governance during the interim leadership transition. These trainings focus on continuity, cohesion, teamwork, and clarification of roles and responsibilities between the Board and Superintendent.

This information is provided to support shared understanding and alignment as the Board considers professional learning opportunities that strengthen governance practices in service of students and the district.

San Antonio- June 10-13, 2026
Fort Worth- June 17-20, 2026

Snyder ISD will host a community-wide State of the District event on April 23, 2026, from 6:00-7:30 PM at Snyder High School to celebrate multiple indicators of progress, including academic growth, expanded student programming, increased staff retention, and strengthened instructional capacity. This event will highlight district momentum, share key data points, and recognize the collective work of students, staff, families, and community partners.

On January 23, 2026 the Junior High did not have power as of 7:02 AM.  Within less than 30 minutes, district leadership assessed the situation, made a decision, communicated with families, and safely cleared the campus. Teachers, operations, transportation, and administrative staff responded quickly and collaboratively to ensure student safety.

The district continues to experience recurring power outages associated with the current electrical provider, Big Country Electric.

The district is actively exploring contingency options to protect instructional time and support family schedules.
