Edgewood ISD trustees hear 2026–27 budget presentation; members request debt and exemption details
Summary
Assistant Superintendent Myrna G. Martinez presented the Edgewood Independent School District 2026–27 budget at a June 15 public hearing; trustees asked for follow-up figures on district debt, clarification on a referenced "2.8" allocation and how homestead exemptions affected the budget. No members of the public spoke.
Assistant Superintendent of Business Operations Myrna G. Martinez presented the Edgewood Independent School District's public hearing on the proposed 2026–27 budget on June 15, 2026, directing attendees to full materials on the district website (www.eisd.net).
Trustees asked several follow-up questions during a brief Q&A. Trustee Michael Valdez asked about the district's school debt; Martinez said she "will provide [the debt figures] in the next board update." Trustee Sergio Delgado asked, "What is going to be used for the 2.8?" Martinez replied that funds had "transitioned into bluebonnet math, raises for our teachers." Trustee Rudy Lopez asked about impacts from the recent legislative session; Martinez referenced "the homestead exemptions." The minutes do not provide numerical amounts for the debt, the 2.8 reference or exempted totals; Martinez committed to supplying debt figures at a later board update.
The public-comment period drew no speakers: the minutes record "No communication from citizens." Board Operations Manager Amelia M. Castillo reiterated the district's public-comment rules on the record—sign-up by 5:00 p.m., three minutes standard and up to six minutes for non-English speakers or as modified by the presiding officer.
The hearing is part of the district's budget-adoption process and will be followed by workshops and board performance meetings as staff and trustees finalize budget details. The Superintendent thanked Martinez and her team for the work that began in October and noted continued review through upcoming meetings.
