Board adopts GISD 2026–2027 budget resolution
Summary
The Westwood Heights Board approved the GISD 2026–2027 budget resolution. Finance Committee chair Roberts warned that proposed state House bills to repeal property tax could reduce school funding; the board recorded the budget vote as carried in the minutes.
The Westwood Heights Board of Education approved the GISD 2026–2027 budget resolution during its May 20 meeting. Roberts moved the resolution and Jennifer Johnson supported the motion; the meeting minutes record the outcome as 'Motion Carried 6-0.'
Roberts, who presented the Finance Committee report, urged caution about state-level changes to school funding, saying that "several House Bills would repeal property tax which in turn would have a negative effect on funds generated for public schools." The budget approval follows the district's presentation at the GISD budget hearing, and the resolution was submitted to the board for formal adoption.
The minutes do not provide a line-by-line breakdown of the district budget in this text; the Finance Committee also noted a proposed Section 27L distribution (described elsewhere on the agenda as a one-time distribution). President Coburn was recorded as absent in the attendance list.
