SAISD

Trustees for the San Antonio ISD school board have officially agreed to sell the final piece of land needed for the Missions minor league baseball team's new downtown stadium.

San Antonio ISD trustees have approved a $541 million operating budget for the 2025-2026 school year, but it doesn't include changes under the new school funding law.

Populous has been tapped as the lead designer of the new downtown Missions ballpark set to open in April 2028. The firm has designed more than 75 major and minor league ballparks in the last three decades, including Southwest University Park in El Paso.

Trustees for the San Antonio Independent School District voted Monday evening to give a 4% raise to full-time hourly staff and a 3% raise to teachers and other salaried employees.

San Antonio ISD trustees voted on Monday to eliminate at least 32 positions at the end of the school year. Most of the affected employees are tasked with writing curriculum.

In a statement, SAISD officials said the cuts will reduce the district’s central office budget by $17 million next year, helping the district with a '$51 million structural deficit.'

SAISD spent four months surveying community members on the ways they'd like to repurpose empty school buildings, both online and at athletic events.

Most San Antonio school districts resumed class Wednesday, but SAISD schools have not.

Despite efforts to improve HVAC systems, San Antonio ISD’s superintendent said old buildings and limited funds make it difficult to regulate school temperatures during extreme weather.

The San Antonio Independent School District has released a draft Memorandum of Understanding for the purchase of district land for the new Missions ballpark.
