San Antonio ISD board approves budget amendment and adopts 2025-26 tax rates

San Antonio — The San Antonio Independent School District board approved several financial measures at its Aug. 18 meeting, including a general fund budget amendment prompted by recent state legislation, certification of the 2025 appraisal roll and adoption of the district's tax rates for the 2025-26 school year, board member Mike Filareal said.

Those measures, Filareal said, included an amendment to the general fund budget made necessary by recent state legislation and the board's approval of the certified appraisal roll that establishes the district's taxable value for 2025. Trustees also approved both the no-new-tax-revenue tax rate and the voter-approval tax rate used in state calculations, then adopted the district's final tax rate for the 2025-26 school year.

The actions finalize the district's revenue assumptions for the coming year and help set the parameters for next year's budget. Filareal said the budget amendment was a response to recent changes in state law that altered district financial requirements; the transcript does not specify the statute or bill.

The board additionally discussed long-term capital planning: trustees considered creating a blue-ribbon task force to study capital needs and plan for a potential future bond program, a step that could inform how the district would use property tax revenue or bond proceeds in coming years.

The transcript provided no roll-call vote tallies or mover/second names for the finance items, and it did not identify the specific state legislation prompting the budget amendment. Filareal presented the summary as part of a recorded "Board Bites" highlights package and said the trustees approved the listed measures.
