Round Rock ISD projects modest surplus as trustees begin 2026–27 budget planning
Summary
District finance staff told trustees the maintenance-and-operations budget remains roughly balanced for 2025–26 with a small projected surplus, but projected expenditure increases and enrollment uncertainties mean administrators will pursue departmental reductions and hold community budget forums before finalizing the 2026–27 budget.
Round Rock Independent School District officials told the board on Feb. 17 that the current 2025–26 maintenance-and-operations budget is projected to be in the green, but material uncertainties will shape next year’s budget.
Dennis, the district’s finance lead, told trustees the district’s October revenue projection fell slightly from $488.199 million to $487.083 million because of lower‑than‑expected property values and other small adjustments. He said investment income is up but noted an $800,000 decrease in charge reimbursement and some federal grant reductions. On the expenditure side, Dennis said projections increased by roughly $3.8 million, and the district is starting with a plan to look for a minimum 10% reduction across department allocations.
