Canyon ISD Board Regular Meetings will generally take place the second Monday of the month. The meetings are held in the Board Room of the CISD Administration Building, 3301 N 23rd St, Canyon. Regular Meetings begin at 7 p.m. with Board Recognitions and other Special Meetings that are open to the public. The Board Regular Business Meetings begin at 7 p.m. Special Meetings are scheduled on an as-needed basis.
In accordance with the Texas Open Meetings Act, the Board has the privilege to meet privately in closed session to discuss matters related to personnel, student discipline, security, land acquisition or to consult with legal counsel. No action, however, may be taken during a closed session.
With the children foremost in their minds, the Board of Trustees’ primary task is to establish district policy. These individuals are elected by you for four-year terms for which they receive no compensation. Prior to each meeting, trustees receive background materials on agenda items. By studying this information, they are prepared to ask pertinent questions and cast informed votes. A school board is a governmental body, so it can take action only by a majority vote. They are responsible for approving personnel actions, expenditures, property acquisitions and sales, school elections, and legal transactions. Their authority encompasses construction and maintenance authorizations, budget approval, bond elections and sales, tax rates, and the taking of bids on materials, equipment, property, insurance and other items.
