The Board of Education of the Childress Independent School District approved the 2026–2027 budget during a special meeting on Aug. 31, 2026. Business Manager Tracee Herbstritt presented the financial reports and the proposed budget; the board adopted the budget "as presented" under Motion #6314.
Mrs. Freeman made the motion to approve the budget, and Mr. Bohannon seconded. The motion carried 6-0, with the minutes recording Ayes: Daniel, Freeman, Bruce, Green, Bohannon and Teague and Absent: Rabe. The budget approval followed a previously held public hearing on the budget and tax rate in which the record shows there was no public response.
The approval authorizes the district to proceed under the adopted 2026–2027 spending plan. The board also approved related consent-agenda items and amendments earlier in the meeting that were presented alongside the financial reports.
