Forsan Trustees To Decide On Beneficiaries

Monday, 19 October 2009

By STEVE REAGAN

FORSAN — School trustees here will decide who will be the beneficiaries of Forsan Independent School District’s property wealth when they hold their monthly meeting at 7 p.m. Monday in the administration wing board room.
Since becoming a “property-rich” school under state education financing guidelines, FISD is required to disburse a portion of its wealth to districts on the other side of the rich/poor line in an attempt to equalize school expenditures across Texas.

Latest estimates state that the district will have to distribute $1.2 million this school year.

Monday, trustees will decide who gets the first checks.

FISD Business Manager Dianna Walker said the district has prepared preliminary contracts with Balmorhea and Red Lick school districts, although it is yet to be determined how much money will go to each school system.

In addition, FISD likely will send funds to EdLink 18, a technology consortium based out of Midland, to help provide technology systems and upgrades to other West Texas schools.

In other business Monday, trustees will consider:
• Purchasing textbooks for FISD students taking dual credit courses via distance learning.
• Results from the district’s Financial Integrity Rating System of Texas report. FISD received a “superior” rating from state auditors in the report, Walker said.
• Approval of the highly qualified teacher list.
• Appointment of Dale Humphreys to be the district’s representative on the Howard County Appraisal District Board of Directors.
