Irving ISD workshop reviews Agreement for Purchase of Attendance Credit tied to "Chapter 48" funding

At a brief Irving Independent School District Board of Trustees workshop on Aug. 27, 2026, Chief Financial Officer Fernando Natividad presented an item described in the minutes as the "Agreement for the Purchase of Attendance Credit (Netting Chapter 48 Funding)." The presentation was recorded on the agenda and introduced for board consideration.

"A. Fernando Natividad, Chief Financial Officer, presented on Agreement for the Purchase of Attendance Credit (Netting Chapter 48 Funding)," the minutes state. After the presentation, Vice President Randy Randle moved to approve the agreement; Secretary Lisa Lobb seconded the motion. "Vice President Randy Randle made a Motion to Approve of Agreement for the Purchase of Attendance Credit (Netting Chapter 48 Funding). Secretary Lisa Lobb seconded," the record shows.

The board minutes include a vote table with marks ('x') recorded next to trustees' names. The transcript's formatting makes column alignment unclear; the minutes as presented appear to record the four trustees who were present as voting in favor and three trustees as absent. The minutes do not include a separately worded motion result line (for example, "motion carried"), but the table marks were captured in the official draft minutes.

The workshop was convened and adjourned quickly. President A.D. Jenkins opened the meeting at 9:34 a.m. and the work session adjourned at 9:37 a.m., according to the minutes. No additional details about the terms of the attendance-credit agreement, dollar amounts, or implementation steps appear in the transcripted workshop minutes.
