CFO opens Kountze ISD initial 2025–26 budget workshop
Summary
CFO Philip Welch opened the board's initial workshop on the 2025–2026 budget during a July special meeting, which ran from 6:17 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. The transcript records no formal motions or votes on budget items.
At a special meeting of the Kountze Independent School District Board of Trustees, CFO Philip Welch opened discussion on the initial 2025–2026 budget. The session, held at the Kountze Intermediate School Library, began at 6:17 p.m. and was recorded as adjourning at 7:00 p.m.
Welch led the board through the agenda item described as a "BUDGET WORKSHOP." The transcript notes that the discussion was an opening workshop; it does not record detailed line-item figures, motions to adopt or amend a budget, or a vote. Superintendent Shane Reyenga and several trustees were present while CFO Welch spoke. The board did not take formal action on the budget during this brief session.
The transcript contains two conflicting date references (a heading that lists July 14, 2025 and a line that states the meeting met on July 25, 2024). The district's header and agenda identify the meeting as a July 2025 special session; this article uses the July 14, 2025 header date while noting the inconsistency in the record.
Next steps were not specified in the transcript excerpt. The record indicates the item was a workshop opening rather than a decision point; further meetings or board review would be required for any formal budget adoption or amendments.
