Harris County board reviews tentative 2025–26 budget, presentation stresses work still in progress
Summary
District staff presented a tentative 2025–26 budget to the Harris County Board of Education, saying planners began work in fall 2024 and that figures remain subject to change pending state digest information.
Harris County Board of Education members received a presentation of the district’s tentative 2025–26 budget during the April 20 meeting, with staff asking the board to review the draft and raise questions at a later session.
The draft budget was presented to the board for review; presenter Katie said the district began the process in October and November and credited principals, departments and assistant superintendents for their work on the plan. Katie said some figures remain “predictions” because the district has not yet received the state digest that affects final numbers.
The tentative plan is intended to fund operations and services the district currently provides, Katie said; she asked board members to review the packet and bring questions to the next meeting. No formal vote on the tentative budget was recorded during the segment of the meeting provided.
District staff characterized the presentation as a working draft rather than a final document. Katie said staff will update figures once the digest and other pending items are finalized and will return with any changes for board action.
The board did not take a formal vote on the tentative budget during the presentation; the item was presented for review and further discussion.
