Summary
The Round Rock Independent School District Board of Trustees adopted the district’s 2025–26 budgets for the General Fund, Debt Service Fund and Food Service Fund on a 7–0 vote, adopting the staff-recommended column while awaiting final coding from the Texas Education Agency for a later amendment.
The Round Rock Independent School District Board of Trustees voted 7–0 Tuesday to adopt the district’s budgets for fiscal 2025–26 covering the general fund, debt service fund and food service fund.
Trustee Markham moved to adopt the budgets as presented; a second was recorded. The board clerk announced the motion carried 7–0.
Superintendent Dr. Aziz told trustees the board must adopt the budget now because the Texas Education Agency had not yet released final budget codes related to House Bill 2. The board adopted the staff-recommended “second column” budget with the expectation district staff will return as soon as TEA posts the missing information and present an amended budget, possibly as early as August.
Board and staff discussion at the meeting focused on the procedural need to adopt a complete budget document now so the district remains in compliance with state law while retaining flexibility to amend the numbers once the agency posts the codes.
Trustees said they expected follow-up presentations in August showing any adjustments proposed after the TEA code release. The adoption carries no immediate programmatic change; it formalizes spending limits and allows staff to close the year and plan for the new fiscal cycle.
The board’s unanimous adoption clears the way for district leaders and campus administrators to proceed with fiscal-year preparations and for staff to return later with any necessary amendments.
