Navarro ISD reports enrollment above projections and outlines budget uncertainties
Summary
Superintendent reported final 2025–26 enrollment totaling 3,091 students (142 over peak projection) and presented 2026–27 projections; CFO noted budget scenarios from MoakCasey and Region 13 and cautioned that certified property values due July 25 will affect tax revenue projections.
Superintendent Dr. Epley presented final enrollment for the 2025–26 school year and projections for 2026–27. District counts were: Elementary 822 students (60 over peak projection), Intermediate 773 (20 over), Junior High 709 (13 over), and High School 878 (49 over), totaling 3,091 students — 142 over the district's peak projection. Zonda's projections for 2026–27 estimate a peak total of 3,215 students.
CFO Paul Neuhoff presented budget update scenarios built from two projection models — MoakCasey and Region 13 — and emphasized that property tax collection projections are uncertain because of increased homestead and over‑65 exemptions enacted in recent legislative sessions. Neuhoff said certified property values will be received by July 25 and that property tax projections remain the most difficult variable in the budget forecast.
Dr. Epley also summarized highlights from the Panther Progress quarterly report covering March through May 2026; the report is posted on the district website. No budget votes occurred at the meeting.
