Hackberry Elementary Board adopts FY2026 budget, reports positive fund balance
Summary
The Hackberry Elementary School District #3 Governing Board adopted the FY2026 budget on July 8, 2025, following a financial report showing a $725,496.50 bank balance and a $59,848.07 positive budget balance at the end of May.
The Hackberry Elementary School District #3 Governing Board adopted its FY2026 budget at a regular meeting July 8, 2025, voting 5–0 on a motion by Tammy Herrera, seconded by Pam Adams.
Business Manager Sam Dell told the board that district funds increased by $28,676.70 (4%) year over year and the district held a bank balance of $725,496.50. Dell reported a reconciled positive budget balance of $59,848.07 at the end of May and noted approximate rollovers of $100,000 for maintenance and operations and $20,000 for capital.
The adoption followed the required public hearing on the FY2026 adopted budget; the minutes record no public attendance or questions during that hearing. The board’s consent agenda — which included approval of expense vouchers 2583–2585, payroll vouchers 2536–2539, disposal forms for FY25 inventory, and several administrative appointments — was approved by individual motions recorded as Passed 5–0.
Why it matters: Adopting the budget finalizes the district’s planned revenues and expenditures for the coming school year and authorizes staff to carry out operations and planned programs. Dell also described process improvements in asset tracking after a FY25 physical inventory identified laptops and printers for disposal.
What to watch next: The minutes show a planned rollover of roughly $120,000 combined (M&O and capital) into FY26; the board did not attach specific projects to those funds in the minutes. The board also scheduled a special meeting on July 14, 2025, for continued policy review and approvals.
The board adjourned at 5:30 PM.
