CCISD Trustees Approve Reconstruction and Support for Williams Ledger

The CCISD Board of Trustees on November 19, 2025 authorized a set of procurement actions intended to accelerate repairs at Williams Ledger Elementary after the campus suffered flood damage during the summer. Trustees approved the purchase and installation of 96 new heating, ventilation and air conditioning units for the campus, replacement servers and speakers, and the cabling infrastructure required to restore modern instructional technology.

Board members cited the district s August declaration of emergency as the procedural basis for expedited repairs, and the district is coordinating recovery efforts with its insurer, the Texas Association of School Boards Risk Management Fund. Administration reported that the work remains on schedule for students and staff to return to Williams Ledger for the 2026 to 2027 school year.

In addition to the physical repair projects, the board approved a contract for Speech Language Pathologist Assistant services. That action is aimed at maintaining continuity of special education services while the district conducts searches to fill vacant positions. Trustees also submitted 91 teachers for state Teacher Incentive Allotment designation review, a move that could affect teacher compensation pathways and classroom staffing recognition.

The procurements and service contract reflect an effort to limit instructional disruption and restore campus functionality ahead of the next school year. Replacing HVAC systems and upgrading servers and speakers are immediate priorities for health, comfort, and the return of in person instruction. Restoring cabling infrastructure is essential for classroom technology and remote learning resilience. Maintaining special education support during staffing transitions addresses an urgent need for students who rely on continuous services.

For Coryell County residents the decisions matter both for short term recovery and for district governance. Use of the emergency declaration and coordination with the Risk Management Fund will be a focal point for fiscal oversight as repair contracts proceed. Submission of teachers for statewide designation review ties local staffing to state programs that influence pay and retention. District leaders say repairs are on track, and community members will watch implementation, timelines and budgets as work progresses toward reopening Williams Ledger for the 2026 to 2027 school year.
