Bowling Green ISD approves tentative FY 2025-26 budget

The Bowling Green Independent School District Board of Education on Feb. 10 approved the district’s tentative fiscal year 2025-26 budget. The tentative budget was listed on the agenda as presented by Director of Finance Shaunna Cornwell and was adopted by a motion from Frank H. “Hamp” Moore Jr., seconded by Michael Bishop; all five board members voted yes (Order #21564). The board adopted the budget as presented; the transcript records no supplemental figures or line-item adjustments during the meeting. The tentative budget sets the district’s preliminary spending plan for the 2025-26 fiscal year. The board’s action places the document into the district’s official budget process; the transcript does not record further procedural dates, public hearings, or final-adoption timetable tied to this vote. No specific revenue or total-expenditure figures for the tentative budget were included in the meeting record. Because the budget item on the agenda identified Shaunna Cornwell as the presenting finance director, the record attributes presentation responsibility to the district finance office. The meeting minutes show a formal roll-call-style approval by show of hands with unanimous support; no dissenting remarks or conditions were recorded. The board took no separate public comment or amendment on the tentative budget during the meeting record. Next procedural steps (public display period, second reading, final adoption) were not specified in the transcript.
