Hutto ISD CFO outlines budget plan, staffing requests and aim for balanced budget
Summary
CFO presented enrollment and ADA figures, taxable-value trends, staffing requests for a new high school and special education, pay-grade adjustments, insurance and benefit cost updates, and said the district aims to propose a balanced budget in June after reductions and funding changes.
Chief Financial Officer "Steve" led a budget workshop reviewing enrollment and average daily attendance (ADA), taxable-value trends from Williamson County, staffing requests tied to opening High School No. 2, special-education and federal FTEs, and proposed pay-grade adjustments following a TASB pay study.
Steve said the district's enrollment was about 11,136 students while ADA was roughly 10,250, and explained ADA drives state funding because the district is paid on daily attendance rather than enrollment. He told trustees the district started with a roughly $3.5 million deficit, expected funding increases of around $5 million and reductions totaling about $772,008, and is working to present a balanced budget in June. The presentation included specifics such as estimated increases in property-casualty insurance and a proposed $25-per-employee bump in the health-insurance assumption.
