WISD CFO previews budget pressures, projects $1.0099 tax rate and 2,570 students
Summary
CFO Michael Doyle presented the district's 2024–25 end-of-year budget and a 2025–26 outlook, noting a projected total tax rate of $1.0099, estimated enrollment of 2,570 students, and rising costs in insurance, materials, development and technology.
Michael Doyle, the district chief financial officer, presented the Wimberley ISD budget workshop during the Aug. 4 special meeting, reviewing 2024–25 end-of-year positions and the preliminary outlook for FY 2025–26.
The presentation compared local property values with certified July figures from surrounding districts, reviewed the district’s tax rate history and anticipated Maintenance & Operations and Interest & Sinking rates, and included what the minutes call a "projected total tax rate of $1.0099." Mr. Doyle also provided historical ADA and attendance figures, enrollment projections (2,570 students projected for 2025–26) and described rising operational cost categories — casualty insurance, instructional materials, districtwide staff development, utilities and technology. Several salary and payroll scenarios for different staff groups were included in the preview of the FY 2025–26 General Fund.
District materials presented at the workshop framed these cost drivers as the context for proposed compensation changes and other budget decisions the Board later considered at the same meeting.
