Upcoming Special Called Board Meeting: This Wednesday, August 26, 2026, the district is set to host a Public Hearing on the proposed 2026-2027 district tax rate and budget along with possible Board approval at 6:00 PM at the West ISD Administration Building. To review the tax rate and budget figures, here is the article I submitted to "The West News" last week: https://files.smartsites.parentsquare.com/5758/2026-2027_west_isd_budget_and_tax_rate_news_article.pdf.
- Special note: The district is set to review all received RFPs for a possible new district beverage contract tomorrow, Tuesday, August 25, 2026, at 2:00 PM at the West ISD Administration Building.

UIL Fan Behavior Policy: Under Texas Senate Bill (SB) 2929, game and University Interscholastic League (UIL) officials can now immediately eject unruly or disruptive spectators from athletic events without issuing a prior warning. Ejected fans must then leave immediately, the decision is final, and schools face a strict three-strike limit before losing host-officials privileges. The district then is required to add a suspension period. Let's all come to the games and cheer on the Trojans and Lady Trojans!

STOPit Safety and Bully Reporting System: STOPit is the district's anonymous incident reporting system for students and parents for all safety and bully reporting needs. STOPit has an app feature you can download or the link is saved on your student's Chromebook main login page or the West ISD website (first button on the first row of the page).
