College Station ISD trustees will consider a cybersecurity services agreement with the Texas A&M University System and additional employee stipends during their Aug. 25 meeting.
The big picture
The board will consider a one-year interlocal agreement with the Texas A&M University System for cybersecurity services at an estimated annual cost of $178,398. The agreement would provide CSISD with 24/7 monitoring, threat analysis, incident response and containment, threat assessments and education-specific threat intelligence among other protective measures.
According to district materials, the partnership is intended to strengthen CSISD’s cybersecurity defenses as threats to public entities become more frequent and sophisticated. The agreement would automatically renew each year unless terminated by either party.
Trustees also will consider two additional stipends for the 2026-27 school year: $750 for an elementary P.E. lead assignment and $1,500 for asbestos management responsibilities. The district said the asbestos stipend recognizes specialized training and additional duties associated with the assignment.
Also on the agenda
Trustees will consider budget amendments and contracts for flooring and painting services, as well as purchasing nearly 200 new books for each grade level.
- 71 books for elementary schools
- 10 books for intermediate schools
- 17 books for middle schools
- 99 books for high schools
The board is also expected to approve a donation from Optimum for 15 iPads–valued at $7,000–to South Knoll Elementary School.
College Station will recognize recent STAAR scores and its 2025-26 rating from the Texas Education Agency, released Aug. 14. The district said the latest rating represents a three-year trend of increased performance.

College Station ISD trustees will meet at 7 p.m. Aug. 25 in the CSISD Board Room, 1812 Welsh Ave., College Station. The workshop discussion begins at 5 p.m.
