State proposes new budget figure as previous year's number remains uncertain

The Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District (CISD) held a workshop on July 10, 2025, to discuss various budgetary concerns and planning for the upcoming fiscal year. The meeting focused on reviewing previous budget allocations and considering state recommendations.

One of the key discussions revolved around the state's suggested budget figure of $29.84. A board member noted the need to revisit last year's budget to determine what figure was previously used, indicating that they did not rely on the state's number in the past. This reflection on historical data was deemed important for making informed decisions moving forward.

The meeting highlighted the importance of aligning budgetary decisions with both state recommendations and past practices. Board members acknowledged the need for a thorough review of previous budgets to ensure that future allocations are both effective and reflective of the district's needs.

As the workshop concluded, members emphasized the necessity of careful planning and consideration of all financial factors as they prepare for the next fiscal year. The discussions set the stage for further analysis and decision-making in upcoming meetings.
