Hackberry board adopts FY2026 budget after positive financial update
Summary
The Hackberry Elementary School District #3 Governing Board unanimously adopted the FY2026 budget July 8 after Business Manager Sam Dell reported a year-over-year fund increase, a $725,496.50 bank balance, and estimated rollovers to next year.
The Hackberry Elementary School District #3 Governing Board unanimously adopted the district’s fiscal year 2026 budget at its July 8 regular meeting.
Business Manager Sam Dell presented the May financial summary before the vote, reporting that district funds increased $28,676.70 (about 4%) year over year and that the district’s bank balance stood at $725,496.50. Dell told the board the reconciliation showed no variances with county ledgers, the district had a positive budget balance of $59,848.07 at the end of May, and staff expected roughly $100,000 in maintenance-and-operations funds and $20,000 in capital funds to roll over into FY26.
The board’s adoption of the FY2026 budget followed that report. The motion to adopt the budget was made by Tammy Herrera and seconded by Pam Adams and was recorded as Passed 5-0.
Why it matters: adopting the budget formalizes spending authority for the coming year and sets the district’s priorities for operations, staffing, and capital needs. The board’s vote came after a routine financial reconciliation and staff assurances that inventory and asset‑tracking processes have been strengthened.
Board action and next steps: With the FY2026 budget adopted, staff will proceed under the approved spending plan. The district also noted planned continuing work addressing outstanding Auditor General findings (see separate coverage).
