Leander ISD board approves FY25 budget amendment No. 8, 6–1

The Leander Independent School District Board of Trustees approved Fiscal Year 2025 budget amendment number 8 by a 6‑1 vote during the meeting workshop. The board adopted the amendment after a brief presentation from district finance staff.

Why it matters: The amendment, administration said, does not change the district’s overall ending fund balance for FY25; it shifts revenues and expenses between functions and increases both revenues and expenses by the same amount so the bottom line remains neutral.

What the board approved: District staff described the amendment as intra‑fund movements that increase revenue and matching expenditures by $335,393. The administration said the amendment was normally a consent item because it does not affect the bottom line; staff presented it in the workshop to allow questions from trustees who are reviewing transfers that affect many campuses.

Vote and motion: A board member moved to approve FY25 budget amendment number 8 “as presented.” The board’s voice vote was recorded as 6 in favor, 1 opposed; the motion passed. The transcript did not record a named mover or seconder for the motion.

Context: Trustees were in a workshop on broader 2025–26 budget development and a longer list of potential program and staffing adjustments. Several trustees asked staff for detailed breakdowns of proposed cuts and program impacts during the workshop; administration said it will return with further analysis before any final budget adoption in June.

Documents and next steps: The administration said the amendment preserves the previously posted projected ending fund balance and that further budget adjustments under discussion will be presented at subsequent board meetings. No further action was taken on FY25 aside from the amendment vote.
